That's not exactly an accurate statement. You can't reduce turbo lag by adjusting the wastegate, unless its malfunctioning or a poor design that creeps open at low psi, but it shouldn't. Some say a manual boost control can improve spool up, but if you understand whats going on there its not likely, unless again its not working right.
What does he do, just add a spring to keep the WG closed longer?
