+1. Bmw has been using the twin scroll turbo on the 335 for several years now and that car has almost no lag and makes great consistent power and torque across most of its rev range.

I think most aftermarket turbo setups are affected by the narrow range problem as they are usually targeted at a specific purpose and are limited by what the factory setup on the car is. On a factory turbo charged car, if something isn't the way they want it they can just move it unlike in the aftermarkt.
