Wait I did say there was no lag...
So IMO the use for this on a race car is 1. no lag 2. get the most out of what boost you can run, aka get more horsepower without needing to upgrade internals. Point 2 is kinda why anyone would possibly think of doing it to a street car. With a street car I believe you can argue a turbo is equally useless, why not just a supercharger? Good low end torque, poor fuel consumption only when you're really on it (and as I pointed out a turbo doesn't actually save that much energy).
