One other question here that seems to be indirectly clarified but not clearly stated is whether or not there is another parameter monitored by the speedo apart from RPM. From the explanation above it seems there isn't.
Tekin does not seem to share all this info for obvious reasons. But from my own reading and testing here is what I understand.

Boost comes in at a set RPM. We don't know that RPM and it has been said to be a few feet from a standing start. When that RPM is hit, you get full timing.

Turbo comes in and starts ramping after the set delay. From my own testing, it takes .1 sec to get 2 degrees of turbo. So it takes 1.2 2 sec of full throttle to get full turbo if set to .2sec delay.

As far as I can tell, it takes RPM and full throttle to meet certain timing criteria.
