What reduces turbo lag?

Three days into this turbo thing and I am still not used to it. What mods will reduce the initial turbo lag?
Thanks Dean

Anti-Lag.

Larger downpipe, Free flowing intake, more aggressive tune, basically anything that (using common sense and a basic knowledge of physics) anything that would make a fast spinning wheel that moves air, move air faster with less back pressure.

Lag

The problem, at least for me, is that once you add a mod the car gets better... faster, more responsive (less lag) you want more and more. I'd recommend you start w/ a MBC and gauge, then intake and exhaust, the intercooler pipes. All make better flow and less lag...

I vote turboback exhaust and a custom tune. That can reduce lag a lot, and make better power.
