If you sit on the motorway and just plonk your foot to the carpet every time you need to accelerate in 5th with a map that produces a shitload of torque, then you're probably going to either slip the clutch or pull the teeth off 5th - just gotta be wary of it - this is why I'm an advocate of modern, variable geometry turbochargers, which yes can spool at very low RPM, but you don't HAVE to feed it the fuel, you can create the torque delivery how you want it, but on transient changes it's still instantaneous, no waiting - something you can't do with bigger, fixed geometry turbos.
