Just becuz you have it available at such a low rpm doesn't mean you have to use all of it. If you want to do some serious a$$ hauling, you're going to downshift. What makes these TVS units so sweet, is the power increase down low where you do 99% of your driving. A few psi of boost in around town driving is sweet. Full boost at low rpm isn't advisable, but a little boost in your day to day driving is all good. It's like have 650 cubic inches of displacement at your disposal, but not having to pay the price unless you use it.
