Turbo lag IS an issue, and the T5 or R models with larger turbos have to wait a little longer; the small-bore low pressure turbo spools faster. The payoff comes when the turbo does get spooled up - the torque comes on and stays on. The first question to ask is how long does it take you to get to 60mph? Even with turbo lag (and amateur launch technique) you should be mid-7 seconds for low pressure turbo, mid-6 seconds for high pressure turbo.
