Sure the throttle works the same, but think about how a turbo works. Off the exhaust gases, so they have to travel through the engine first then you've got to compress the air which goes through the throttle.
There is lag, I've felt it in every turbo car I've driven on track. It's not a mega issue and yes of course you get used to it and drive around it. It does tend to mean that you tend to pump the throttle slightly to compensate. Again not a mega problem in itself, but it does diminish how delicate you can be with the throttle when adjusting the attitude of the car mid-corner.
Sure if the car drives good and it's a turbo I'd definitely give it a go, no probs with that. Turbo technology has moved on a long way since the 80s and even the 90s so the lag issue isn't what it used to be.
