"Turbo lag" is the delay between your engine rpms going up and the time when your turbo spools up or start build up boost. The reason is that your engine has to build enough pressure through the exhaust to spool up the turbo.
The “problem” will be when the turbo spools too high and the rev limit is “low” so as between gears shifts have a delay to built boost again and the power band is too short.
Nothing to worry about, from change to change instead of falling the boost we add boost and the car goes faster at every change.
This called boost strategy and calculated from many parameters.
Don’t confuse lag with slow car. The black evo ix we have test, use a 1800hp turbo and have boost from 8000-8500rpms and is unbelievable fast. From 50 to 300 seems that goes with one shift, even from the vbox file its difficult to see the changes from the G acceleration.

Just a bit of a tease, it's making ~400whp @ ~6500 rpms and revs up to 12k rpms

How are you possibly going to use all of this HP on the street? I feel like I'm destined for trouble with 500whp I couldn't imagine 1300hp more. Are you getting any chassis reinforcing and or suspension upgrades?
