You can run the same turbo with different amounts of boost and the lag will be the same. The bigger the turbo the more lag it'll have, and obviously the smaller will be just the opposite no matter how much you're boosting. That's why some car's came twin turbo like the RX7's, Supras, etc so the small turbo compensates for the lag on the bigger one, but as you can see those car's owner who really want faster cars switch to bigger and single turbos, no matter the lag. Oh, and just my opinion I rather be boosting 12 pounds on a bigger turbo (which you can always up), than 25 on a smaller one (that's maxed out), 'cause when that turbo kicks in you'll forget about lag.
