There is no chart that can show fixed turbocharged engine torque. Your first test vs 2nd, 3rd, 4th and so on will give you different reading especially on a car that is moving on the road. The wastegate valve opens at fixed rpm eg. Twinscroll turbocharger at 1200rpm, yes it'll open whenever reaching 1200rpm. The max torque however varies at no fixed rpm which is why turbo engine specs put 1200-4000rpm depends on situation. Any turbo engine specs chart that show flat peak torque from wastegate valve open rpm 1200-4000. If you read the chart as fixed peak torque, then you're not reading the chart correctly.

Wastegate do not open based on rpm. Wastegate works by vacuum/intake pressure activation. Spring setting (external wastegate determine which atm pressure to open the valve and prevent over boost. There are other ways of managing or forcefully activating the actuator by ebc or internal ecu air pump activation (some complex cars)

Wastegate doesn't activate turbo, what were you thinking. The word waste already clear means thrash to dump excess air out. It's the valve in plenum that opens where air is drawn in by the spool on intake side. This valve opening is what people said turbo activates. Still want to help that korean fanboy?

Wastegate is sitting at the exhaust port. It's function is to bypass the exhaust gas from flowing to the turbo and generating more boost. The part where you say it dumps air is called blow off valve. The difference in pressure for after throttle body and before throttle body will activate the valve to relieve pressure.

Damn I'm late for the party.

And for goodness sake. Turbo never activates. Electric clutched superchargers do. Turbo works on load and spool basis. Turbo spins all the time so it's always spooling. It's dimension, cfm, pressure, load, weight of the centrifugal impellers and exhaust volume plus velocity determines the rate of boost.

I think the ECU/programming prevents the driver lugging the engine, not engine stall.

For preventing engine stall under low speed, it can just disengage the gear/clutch.
Oh well, I'm not the programmer so it can be either one, or both.

Maybe you are right, I didn't thought of the lugging situation.

The thing is the cars today are sophisticated, with electronic throttle control the ECU might gradually open the throttle when driver trying to lug the engine. There are many options with the modern electronics.

I also guessing, might be combination of all like you said. Won't pretend to know all.

There is a load sensor at the transmission. It's nothing new.
