If you are cruising at 2k rpms chances are you arent on boost. If you punch it then you start to boost up. Depends on the load I guess. If you are in neutral and rev up to boost it will kick in at about 3.5k.

how would it depend on load?!?! if you floor it is just come on quicker because you get to that rpm quicker.
and boost not under load?!?!? with a stock turbo i don't think its possable!! i only get to 0psi.

Shane, it will not hurt the engine at idle as long as you have the extra fuel at idle. It will most likely make your idle higher.
I know I could boost in neutral. It was only a few psi, but it still boosted. At idle, you only pull vac. because your TB is closed.
Jedi is correct. The load on the engine will determine the speed of the turbo spinning. Thats why you can only get a few psi in neutral and any amount in gear at WOT. More load = more exahust pressure = more boost. Pretty simple.
