It should hold 19.5psi until around ~6000 rpms at which point it will drop off to around 16-17psi. MBC will NOT make it hold 19.5 psi until redline although it helps a lot.

Ok so your confused at the terms then.
Taper is the point when a turbo can not create any more boost because the demands of the engine are higher than the output of the turbo. As the RPM's climb the engine requires more and more air (volume) which eventually outruns the stock turbo and the boost begins to decline , taper.
Turbo lag is the time is takes for the turbo to start creating boost from some starting RPM to a RPM where it does begin to make boost. As RPM climbs the engine consumes more air and more exhaust is produced allowing even large turbos to spool at the price of requiring higher RPM's to begin spooling, creating boost.
AS you can probably read turbo lag is not caused by boost.

1) Atmospheric pressure, the higher you are elevation wise the less the turbo will be able to flow
2) Temperature, hey cold air is more dense and means the turbo can make more boost.
2) Engine efficiency, how efficient your engine is at consuming air from any source. Obvious as this may seem the more efficient you make your engine breathe the less able the turbo is able to keep up. Things that improve this are simple to start with like exhaust, intake, etc..
So there you have my answer, non answer, to your question. For real data your going to have to try it for yourself.
