Turbo Lag occurs in a turbo charged automobile, because a turbo charger does not provide immediate power. It takes a slight moment for the parts in a turbo charger to begin spinning and provide added power. Reduction of Turbo Lag can be accomplished by using lighter parts within the turbo charger, using twin turbo chargers or super charging.
