Add a mild hybrid system, and if the car is a little heavier add a small amount of boost, no more than 0.4 bar for minimal lag.

The boost pressure has little to do with lag. Being a 1.6L you want all the boost pressure the engine can hold. Choose accordingly. GM's 2.0L Ecotec can be built to 1200 horsepower.
