What mods can I do to decrease turbo lag?

I know I only have the stock K03, but the lag still annoys me, especially since I got the giac 'cause the difference before and after lag is MUCH more noticable with all the extra power.... any suggestions of mods or aftermarket parts that will help this? or also adversly anything that will get the throttle to be more responsive?

thanks in advance

Make sure you're running 0w-30 or 0w-40 synthetic oil.

ooooh... that would be niiiiice... but i know that has to be over 4000 dollars....

i mean, a toilet costs 1000 dollars, and a hammer costs 400 dollars.... the cash for the aircraft carrier style catapult could probably get me to drop the s8 engine in my car to decrease lag....
