Using high boost at low rpm can lead to pre-ignition, although I haven't yet tried it to see what happens in CLOD: the Pilot's Notes General advise raising the rpm before increasing boost and reduce the boost before decreasing rpm to cruising level.
Just looking at ATAG-Dutch's demo the rpm doesn't seem to go above 1,600 in two tests 130-440 mph...hmmm.
