I drive mine pretty gently when it's cold but yes I woudl say it does seem like the computer might be retarding the boost a tiny bit until the oil gets some warmth to it. It isn't that much of a difference but I would say there is some difference when it is completely cold.

Not sure if the original post was asking about first turns on as in a cold engine or first rolling away from a stop. The torque from the diesel motor is artificially limited at low speeds to prevent excess tire spin and drive line wear. Oh so said some review I read. This combined with turbo delay means that the first 20-50 feet of movement are not rapid in the CTD.
I believe it was about a cold engine. When my engine is warm, if I floor it from a stop, it will spin the tires easily due to the rush of torque.
