Of course with an automatic tranny this lag is masked by the furious downshifting that will happen. And with a little upgrade in driving skill this lag can be accommodated with a stick shift. And with a little experience you don't notice it so much.

This is nonsense. Even in an NA car you dont get max torque instantly at 2000rpm, it comes around 6000rpm. You are just making yourself feel turbo lag.
