Default torque brake = boost

well, as we all know, there need to be a load on the engine for the turbo to build boost... well what if you have the front wheels up in the air... so they can spin freely... now if you have it in gear and torque brake/power brake (foot on gas and brake at same time), wouldnt that cause one hell of a load to be put on the engine resulting in boost? reason i ask is because i need to make some boost to clear out any ---- that might be in my charge pipes before i make the last connection to the throttle body...
