It's kind of like a two stage power delivery. As explained above, it takes added time to reach 100%. There is currently no way around this, not even the clever F1 engineers have been able to eradicate it completely...
A NA engine cannot have lag from idle to redline, it constantly delivers 100% of available power at any given rpm and throttle opening. A turbo engine cannot, and does not, replicate this quality. Not even next years F1 engines!

Excellent post.
NISFAN continues to delude himself with his "privileged understanding" of turbo lag which clearly only represents a very odd apples to oranges comparison of an given engine with and without a turbo system. I think I've given up but thanks for carrying the torch here...
