I too am curious about turbo lag. I am one of those who claim to experience little turbo lag. Not zero, but I rarely notice it. There are certain driving conditions where I do notice some turbo lag, but I don't tend to exercise those conditions often. For example, punching the gas from near idle speed as when cutting left through traffic for an unexpected whole.
Typcially I tend to aniticipate traffic conditions and my "moves" and find that with proper downshifting I don't experience turbo lag at all. I also frequently experience turbo readings in the "red". Which is only to say that I am not a particularly timid driver.
Of course, it may simply be that my driving style is the reason that I don't feel that lag that others do. I do love to push this car. So much so that my wife has trully tired of hearing me say it. However, I don't much go in for jack-rabbit starts. I prefer the "rolling rocket" scenario.
One final note, I believe that turbo-lag, though surely a pest for some, and all but missing for others, is trully a subjective thing. It's too bad there isn't an objective measure of it that we could all post.
Cheers,
Dave
