997 Gen 2 Turbo S lag

Had a Gen1 and now an S, I know what you're speaking of, as the dealer it that *exact* thing on the test drive.
It takes longer than you might imagine to decide how many gears to drop, and then as you rightly say, all hell breaks loose.
In the two years since I've owned the car I have never witnessed the same thing. But then I have never decided I needed to go from 7th on a trailing throttle to max attack, who would?
In all circumstances the 997 tS is mental fast, and what you're describing isn't turbo lag at all but gearbox/ecu/wtf lag. Turbo lag on a Gen2 is improved over a Gen1 if anything, and a Gen1 has very little.
Thank you, I know but when you get a new car you play and then you think is that right, do you know what I mean.It takes longer than you might imagine to decide how many gears to drop, and then as you rightly say, all hell breaks loose.

Yes I adore the kick in the head acceleration and TBH its quite a different animal to drive to a normally aspirated car.

are you just putting your foot down i.e using kick down? If yes, it will be slower, if you "blip" the throttle just before you need that acceleration, it will jump maybe four gears (say 7th to 3rd), pull up the revs at the same speed and be ready to go, if you don't then put your foot down over the next so many seconds it will start moving up the gears again to 7th.
