Exactly. Obviously power shifting is beneficial in all applications (pending traction), but whether you power shift or not, the rpm is going to drop and the boost will drop with it. If the car makes 10 psi at the point you shift, power shifting isn't going to allow you to come into the next gear making 10 psi.

Ofcourse.....but, the idea behind shifting quicker, is to allow less rpm loss....meaning you'll be into power quicker then the douche thats shifting next to you like a granny. regardless of setup, the quicker the shifting, the least amount of rpm lost, therefore in theory, keeping said vehicle in its power band or a lot closer to it,....then if slowly shifted.
Not disagreeing what you guys are saying, but at same time, this is all common sense.
Edit: never mind, I forget, other people can read this too. ;-)

Not really sure how to respond here. I think everyone was in agreement about this in regards to how turbo setups respond to driving.

I run a NLS module on my 135i, but boost will still drop a little when you clutch in as load dictates boost for turbo cars. During a NLS my logs show that boost drops from 15psi to 8psi and right back up again. it's better than loosing so much spool that it's back in vacuum. Now the TA with a nice stalled auto never loses spool through out the run.

... I think Ferrari might be on to something in the transmission dept....
As always---- American cars--- esp. GM.... are behind the curve.
I for one am ok with that though as the tools are relatively few and the parts are comparatively cheap.
We still think the best way to teach children is in rows of seats so they are prepared for factory work when they grow up!!!

.We either get manual that most can't drive, or automatic that blows and shifts like 18 seconds after it should.
