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.

unless you drive an AWD that mandates you to keep your foot on the gas since otherwise it causes lift-off oversteer (due to central diff becomes an open diff ), you don't necessarily keep your foot on the gas all the time..
many people use left foot brake the adjust the load on the front suspension and maintain balance and in RWD cars you can get away with lift-off throttle.. when I had my vette, I was lifting the throttle if I feel I entered too hot and/or noticed some understeer, those are the things you can never do with a turbo...
if you don't like the parasitic loss and look for big numbers on the dyno and umph feel on the street then turbo it is, there's nothing wrong with that, I still miss my turbo cars, they were fun... (except track days )
