I think you are missing the point. I'm talking about minute throttle adjustments mid corner in order to balance the car. This is where you notice turbo lag IME. So it's not about slamming a throttle open mid-corner it's about making tiny adjustments. This is where a turbo loses out to a high revving NA in terms of adjustability of the atttitude of the car through throttle response. I'm talking about when the tyres are in their optimum slip angle as you see the apex.

On the limit some throttle adjustment is generally necessary.
