My wife's old 2.0l 1G with an SC61 on it was laggy. It had a tubular manifold, which didn't help at all with spool, but it was only a .63 A/R and it had a small exhaust wheel compared to a 6262 or 6266. With medium cams and and a typical SMIM it was a pain to get it to spool in 2nd gear. The gearing is so long on DSMs versus an Evo, STI, Supra, Civic, etc that you really drop a lot of RPMs on each shift. I could never quite get the revlimiter high enough to not have it fall on it's face going into 2nd, even with NLTS, but it was a stock motor without a good valvetrain so 8500 was pushing my luck already.

Usually most turbos above the 16G/20G or other smaller bolt-on setups are a big jump in lag. Going from an Evo 3 16G to a typical T3/T4 is big lag increase and then from a typical T3/T4 to a 61mm-67mm is a big lag increase.
