I can think of no mechanical way to do what you ask though I have just one driving suggestion.

If you can anticipate the impending need for boost, such as when you see that an overtake opportunity may be a few seconds away, why not select a gear which puts your engine speed to above 3250 rpm. I find when I do this that boost comes on almost immediately (certainly much quicker than otherwise), and the overtake is done in a very short time.

I modify my vacuum advance boost retard so that I run about 22 degrees of timing at idle and then modify the stop so that it is at about 11 at full boost. This is some help.
