the fact that its a t3/t4 doesnt mean anything about the size. if its a garrett 20 then theres plently of room for a bit of lag. its only a 2.5 liter engine, its much different if its strapped onto an 8. theres more of an issue of a lack of low end torque than lag. the smaller turbos spool up much quicker and have a ton of torque from 2000 rpms and up, just dont produce as much high end power, ergo the benefit of twins on a larger displacement motor.
