Since you asked, I did tried different offsets, same wheel, same tire, just adding or taking spacers out to see the difference. There is a difference in laptime, there is a difference in handling as well, specially on quick transitions.
Would you look at that, cars with suspension and chassis designed around using a staggered setup perform better with a staggered setup. I wonder how cars with suspension designed around square setup perform with a square setup...

Really? Have you studied physics? The moment of inertia dictates the downward force. You have both lateral and downward forces when you turn. The more body roll, the more the downward force and less lateral force. In a car that has less body roll, you also have less downward force based on the moment of inertia. I'm afraid you know little about physics here.
I have trouble believing you actually tested with spacers since that would require replacing studs every time. But even if you did, it was not a blind test so the results are questionable. I've done blind testing in my car clubs specifically to address this issue and with the same driver who did not know the setup. Results showed virtually no difference in lap times. But you will wear out your bearings and suspension faster with that setup.
And, again, if you actually read my posts, you'd see that I indicated that if you really wanted to maximize performance with a turbo, you would also modify your suspension with a suspension DESIGNED for the specific power and suspension setup. So your argument just doesn't apply. If you want to go on the cheap, then you are not talking about performance.
