Definitely not turbo lag. The X3 does use a big single turbo. The X3 actually has almost no turbo lag to speak of.
My daily driver is a stage 2 subaru legacy GT, now that thing has some serious turbo lag.
On a related note, got the X3 back from the reprogram. Seems to be much better. Throttle tip in resulted in almost immediate movement. The true test will be today when my wife puts it through its normal paces. But my initial feeling is that the lag has been mostly eliminated. X3 felt very different.
