It's not lag, you have a boost leak. Get a boost gauge (you should have one already) and report back. Actually, go to the turbo troubleshooting link in the FAQ thread, try a few things, and THEN report back.

most likely boost leak ...check for popped off I/C hoses , and check the lower hose going to the intercooler sometimes it cracks and it will be difficult to spot in the car , you will prolly have to take it out to see
good luck
