Like Xedox said in post #8, you can run really retarded ignition and basically get anti-lag behavior. The reason I don't do this has always been my emphasis on getting power to the ground rather than focus on any sort of intake pressure number. I basically don't put boost pressure up on a pedestal like others tend to. I don't focus on making boost pressure, at the expense of other things. It would take back-to-back comparisons on the dyno to show if one way is better than another, but I focus on maximizing the efficiency and power of the combustion event while basically ignoring what it might do to spooling the turbo.
I spend my efforts trying to get the most out of the air and fuel I have in the combustion chamber at that very moment, without regard to how it may or may not hurt combustion events later. For me, that makes for ultimately a smooth and predictable and more well rounded tune. A spool preferred tune may help in a few weird cases, but for me I like to see the most out of my current combustion events. I wouldn't be surprised if that smoother and more efficient method turned out to be actually the most productive when measured on a dyno or in race conditions.
