I totally get people having a preference for on their power delivery. Even if it's one that you have to wait for redline for max performance. But I think it's been proven in nearly every racing series it hasn't been banned from, turbochargers perform quite well in circuit racing.

It's not consistent, not at readily attainable street car levels.
ALS, electric spool, KERS assisted, etc all are apples to oranges. You cannot deny the physics behind the fact that when you transition from off to on throttle, the turbo needs time to spool up to build boost. If this fact did not exist, there would be no use for centrifugal superchargers; a centrifugal supercharger is, at a very basic level, a "always spooled" turbocharger.
You've been selling turbochargers for YEARS, and you simply do not seem to understand the concept of transient response.

I don't think its coincidence that the majority of the matches on the first few pages are all about improving the transient response of turbochargers.
