A turbo engine on it's own will have turbo lag but companies are now implementing small electric motors to provide instant torque working in conjunction with the engine to pretty well eliminate lag from the driver's seat. Mercedes 48V system paired with their new inline 6 turbo engine is an example as while it provides 21 hp @ 184 lb-ft of initial thrust countering any lag. BMW is also implementing similar technology as this is going to become pretty normal going forward.
