Have they bothered making VG (variable geometry) turbos yet? Then schedule them to close at low power to keep it spinning and kick it open when there's throttle demand.

That's one method of managing transient power demand on jet engines. It would definitely work but it isn't trivial to build a reliable mechanical system and then to control it properly.
