Loading a turbo is exactly what you do with a stall converter. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>Right, but what does that have to do with your comments about driving conditions affecting boost.
A torque converter reacts relative to engine RPM not load from the driveline. So a converter allows the transmission to react at a higher RPM before "engaging" to take better advantage of the best torque band for that engine.
Of course, this is how I understand it, but I could be wrong since I have little experience with tuning cars.
