shift point and where you drive depends on hills id say its flat near you... idling in top gear can't be bad... if you're not accellerating you dont need much from your engine... just don't labour it...
Staying around torque peak isn't good, keep the rpm as low as possible. If the turbocharger can deliver boost at that rpm doesn't matter at all.

Acceleration should be done fast, so no low rpm acclerations.
