The lag will come from AFTER the turbo has compressed the charge of air. The length of your intercooler pipework is what affects lag. By the way lag is the time taken for the turbo to spool to full boost after the point at which full boost is achieved from idle (known as the boost threshold). So if your turbo makes full boost by 3600rpm (threshold) and you are cruising at 5000rpm (no throttle, coasting, 0psi) and nail the accelerator to the floor, the time it takes from that point for the turbo to reach full boost again is lag.
By using a CAI in-gaurd kit you are effectively no longer taking air from the engine bay (and the associated heat). By starting with a lower intake temp a certain percentage, the end result is that when that same air enters the combustion chamber, it will also be a certain percentage cooler. Remembering that cooler air is denser = there is more air to be used in the combustion process which means you have to add more fuel to keep the mixture at the correct ratio = drum roll................
More powahhhhhhhhhh. I hope all that makes sense
