So for this engine if he is referring to the actual definition of turbo lag....I would say yes...pretty much no lag
That way (in bold) there is virtually no lag.

I always learned: Turbo lag is pressing throttle, (almost)nothing happens and later up the revrange you get the kick in the back.

What's the definition then? The latter I call turbo lag too....

EDIT better call that boost threshold. Sorry my bad.
