I don’t think it would be possible to mount the turbos too far away from the exhaust ports in a mid engine car. Hell I’ve seen videos of people mounting turbos at the tail end of a mustang with good results. Regardless any turbo is going to have some lag, and considering he was in 3rd gear and they were running at 50-55mph (or somewhere in that range) that would put him around 2600-2800 rpm. Running that low of a rpm is going to give you some turbo lag. That is just the nature of turbos your going to get some amount of lag there is now way around it. Now you could design the system to be able to spool up faster by going with smaller turbos but the trade off is less total power. So considering the car made over 1000hp with race gas it seems to me that they went with larger turbos that will take a little longer to spool up.
But we are really missing the big picture here, that transaxle is pretty impressive to be able to take that kind of abuse!! To bad they are over $14,000
