That doesn't sound like turbo lag... I agree

I think you are confusing a lack of power with the dramatic increase in power that comes when a turbo kicks in (so called 'turbo lag').
Peak torque on the 2.3L is from 1800 rpm and linear from there on. My '99 has a smooth delivery with no noticable lack of power. Your car probably has some fuel delivery or ignition problem, not a turbo problem. The dealer should be able to diagnose this quickly by just hooking the car to his diagnostic system.
Now my '82 900T really had turbo lag. That engine was pulling up to 3200 rpm, then it wildly surged with an incredible burst of power.
