You'll never stop the turbo spooling up completely, well not on a switch anyway - you can have it so you can turn the boost right down.

The only way to stop it completely would be to have the wastegate wide open, and as long as the wastegate is closed you need boost to open it, if that makes sense - but it would be about as fun to drive as the diesel engine mk4's came with
