I dont think you understand how engines work. If the fuel gets cut off, then how in the world would the rpm go higher? what is creating the energy required to increase rpm?In a perfect world you're right, but we're not talking about a perfect world here. Computers have a sample rate and an algorithm to run in order to make the decision to cut off or limit the fuel or spark or whatever the programmer coded (how soon after shifting to neutral or missing a shift does the computer decide to limit rpm by whatever method (one sample, two, twenty? and at what sample rate?) - you wouldn't tolerate a false alarm while trying to pass someone with a semi coming at you would you?).
In the real world the car won't go faster (mph), but the engine (rpm) will.
Try this in your turbo: From a stop in gear floor it, at about 3,500 - 4,000 rpm shift to neutral with gas pedal floored and see if revs stop at the (about) 4,000 rpm neutral limit or climb well beyond.
Don't try it at higher rpm or you may toast the motor (the ECU will record the max rpm for warranty reference).
