Not all turbo engines have lag you need spec a engine properly and stroke the engine and keep it in the rev band
Just look at the new nissan gtr it has zero lag.

I don't believe that one ounce.

Rally cars (not street cars) are equipped with Anti Lag Systems:

I think heat and lack of progressive powerband are bigger issues than turbo lag. It's to do with how you set up the turbos - do you go for max power (i.e. makes the power at top end - like the F40) or max flexibility (like my S4 and the RT12). The latter hardly have much lag to talk about.

In my car, the power comes on at 1950 rpm so there isn't that much a lag so to speak. Yes, you can be caught flatfooted when you are in low rpms and high gear but you will have the same issue in a NA car which is out of its powerband.

This is true, sameer.

I dont think there is any production car that doesnt have turbo lag....if it did have an anti-lag system, the gas milage and life of the engine/turbo's would probably be next to nothing. Keeping turbo's spooled probably takes a good bit of energy.

You are spot on.
It also helps on turbo engine to stroke it to bigger displacement.
A well setup/build turbo engine can just be as good as any na engine.
