Actually it can be very instantaneous, if you're in the right gear so
as to take advantage of the boost. My "daily" is a little sleeper. An
inocuous looking Mazda 626 GT (5 door hatch) with a 2.2 L, 12 valve
inter-cooled turbo I4.  If it's at 3000 and you mash it, it's a rocket
ship. Guaranteed to bring a smile to your face and a degree of
whiteness to your knuckles. I've been wondering how one could adapt an
engine like that to a westy.  For even more fun, try a Subaru WRX STI.
Twin turbo glee!!!
Can't cook breakfast in it thou.....
