how do u shift with Turbo

so how do u shift with turbo spool. I mean do you let off gas quickly and step on gas again just to reset boost?
Sometimes when my rpms are climbing near 5-7 the rpms seems slower or its just me so I let off gas not enough for the bov to open up then floor again, is this a good way of shifting?

btw my clutch is beat so I know thats robbing some power to the wheels because I feel it when I launch.

tune your BOV.... if you want it to hold a lil more boost between shifts tighten it up a lil and to avoid surge loosen it...

When driving slow, I would shift normal/slow, when racing, I would shift faster. Just learn to drive it boosted, and shifting will get much easier on you. Its definately different than stock when you shift gears and it picks up. It can lag at certain times when you shift crappy.
