from what i’ve read turbos can be tuned to work really well within a certain range of driving, but usually not acoss the entire spectrum.

Yeah, that’s why newer turbo engines will do things like use twin sequential turbos or pair a smaller one and a larger one to try and beat the turbo lag. The single smaller turbo like my Eclipse had is better for performance but at the expense of dealing with the lag getting it spun up. Nowadays they can be engineered so the lag is quite minimal but I don’t know that it can be completely removed.
