Turbos altitude advantage

Often, turbos are lauded as having the advantage of being able to climb out of IMC or into tailwinds (among a few other things). I'm curious to know from those experienced/knowledgeable what magnitude of altitude increases are commonly sought for these scenarios, and at what climb rate. Obviously it varies, but as a neophyte, I'm wondering if they're talking about 4k ft climbs, 10k ft climbs, more? ... and from what altitudes to start? I guess I'm looking for anecdotes where the above advantage has been taken.
