The only way he's going to get rid of the lag is either with Anti Lag (dont ask me to explain - its done using magic) or drive it properly and there won't be any lag

You don't use anti-lag on road cars really though. No way of getting rid of the lag without convering to a super charger. Perhaps he could convert to twin turbo to make the lag less apparent. Really lag is a charecteristin of having a turbo on your engine. Though more advanced turbos are available to help combat lag, it's still noticable.

He'd be better off fitting one of those electronic superchargers too imo

I think what this person is feeling is the bloody computer on this car having a little think before launching off at crazy speeds... Not sure, but that's what I feel when I have driven the A4 1.8t...
