Had an argument with my co-worker over turbo lag, he used to drive an STi and was adamant that the TMIC has less lag than a FMIC, his reasoning is that because there is less piping in the way (it basically sits right on the engine's air intake) it would take less time to pressure the entire system. What I was saying is that while it's true that more volume will take longer to pressurize the difference would be negligible because of how quickly the air moves through the system at the kinds of engine speeds required to build boost in the first place. I couldn't really find any info one way or another, everyone who mentions turbo lag is generally talking about the boost threshold (aka RPMs at which turbo spools).
