How long is that delay between when you stop on the gas, and when you actually have full boost? You're in that "goldilocks zone", but you *still* have to wait for the turbo to spin up. Your power is always there with a SC or NA car.

You assume I ever let my foot off the gas to go from 6k to 5k rpm's... I don't. I've run many tracks, drifted with the pros on pro courses in Japan, and maintaining your throttle position is key to any type of performance driving. If you're letting your RPM's fall without keeping your foot on the accelerator then of course you're going to get lag in any situation. There is always a delayed response to your foot.
