Also you have to remember that when you dump your loosing all the charge air/pressure from your intake which the turbo then has to repressurise again... adding lag

So whats better??... Retain charge air/pressure or reduce spool up time? Both will slow down the time it takes to reach the desired boost pressure again after a gear change...

Hence the ongoing debate...
