My gears for example are really really close (top out at 125mph) so i get through the rev's really fast leaving less time for the turbo to spool giving the illusion of a laggy turbo.
When I ran my old box which was really really long (theoretical top speed of 188mph)with 17" wheels it was the exact opposite.
Very true.

I don't think my engine loads up enough to spool the turbo properly in the lower gears.
