This isn't exactly true. It is highly dependent on setup. Put a couple small quick spooling turbos on a z34 and tune for low end and suspect you would find a car with very little lag but perhaps more limited top end from bigger turbos. Certainly less lag than say a centrifical supercharger running 8psi pulley. Now put a higher psi pulley on your car or put a roots type supercharger on and supercharger may have an advantage to two small turbos.
