Certainly it's a different thing than the wait wait wait wait wait POWWWER turbo cars of the 80s/90s. But, that video (above) was about a 2017 991 911's turbo-- pretty current tech! The mechanism by which a turbo works creates throttle delay.

Again, agree if you are using throttle to spin everything. In the F80, in sport or sport+ (and not dropping revs below 3k) there was no discernable lag on the track. E46 m3 below 3k RPM's would have a larger apparent lag before the power as there wasn't any. Modern turbo cars like the F80 keep the turbo spinning in anticipation of the need for throttle and bleed off the pressure that they don't need. Coming out of a corner at 3k or greater RPMs in an F80 in second, the concern is grip, and throttle management, not lag.
Of course, all this is untrue in efficient mode.
