I only call myself the 4 time novice champ because I try and sneak into the local novice practices and such, I am really young, so anyways I got the nickname of being the novice champion. The miata track car is driven by both my girlfriend and I, it isn't finished yet, I still want to make some changes to the TEC III, shock settings, and add an air dam and rear spoiler. I run slicks on all 4 tires, Hoosier A3S03 at the moment. I have only driven at 2 local Autocross events with the new turbo and ECU, but we have some very competitive people around here, several trailer queen porsches and vettes. I had the fastest top lap time for both days of any of the field (about 70 cars). I cant wait for next years season when my FD gets somewhere and then my girlfriend can drive the Miata.

Your post did not mention if there is a financial restraint so here it goes.
All turbos will have lag. Unless someone has found a way to defy laws of physics and made a turbo with 0 friction and 0 inertial loss. So to do what you are asking for, you need to look for something that can make up the gap before the boost. Here are your 2 options.

1. Install a nitrous system and use it to kick start your turbos. Tricky tuning and still dealing with a finite amount of gas in a bottle. But cheaper of the two solutions.

2. Install a super charger that has a clutch engagement mechanism. The super charger will provide instantaneous low end response and disengage when the turbos kick in to reduce load.

Short of these two methods there are no other way to significantly increase the low end response of a 13B (or use a 20B).
