I usually drive around with the DSC/DTC button pushed once.
The problem as described in OP doesnt sound like turbo lag.
Turbo lag is more of a kick in the pants after the car has reached optimal RPMS. The problem is that the car is completely unresponsive. Happens to me all the time and has put me in tight spots. You cant predict this behavior, as it is not consistent.

Ive run with the DTC off (or on, idk, one push) lately and it has mostly solved the lack of responsiveness. Seems the car is trying to adjust to give you and your passengers a smooth ride by smoothing out inputs. Sometimes, when you are in an intersection and need to move out of the way, you dont want smooth inputs.

Ive run with DTC off during snow storms too and the car behaves more like I want it too.
