What you are saying about gears and turbos just turned on a big lightbulb in my head:
I work with Semi's, and driving them minus a trailer the first 4-5 gears or so are utterly useless, the engine shoots up through the RPM's very quickly and no/hardly any boost is developed. Once you hit about 5-6th gear, you are pushed into the seat and accelerate like a mofo (yea thats techincal jargon) as the boost goes through the roof.
I think higher gears is just one more reason to fall in love with turbos.
