Agreed even for a brief spirited drive or testing boost levels, it's scary as heck esp with small bumps. It's difficult to test in 2nd because there's not enough time to look at the gauges and whatnot while keeping the car straight, but the dyno is definitely the way to go for this stuff.
It'll get up to the rev limeter in 4th very quickly, then you look at the speedo and think "****, I'm going to jail" and throw it into 5th and engine brake back down.
