If you stick on a MODERN bigger turbo, they're absolutely fine...
I've said it before, I'll say it again, my GT2052V (yes it's VNT, but a GT2052S would be surprisingly similar) is LESS laggy than the XUDs T2, it's only slightly laggier than a GT15... The boost threshold is so low that it'll surge below 3000rpm it can pump that much air...
Anyone who says a bigger turbo car is undriveable hasn't driven one that's well tuned or is expecting to have that lump of torque, which makes it FEEL impressive, but you don't actually go anywhere other than raping clutches, it's maintaining that pull up to the high RPMs, which no HDis seem to do... Make them rev properly, and they'll be quick and better to drive.
T3/T4 hybrids - just no, 1970s technology, way too big, they're exclusively wanked over by Ford owners with RS Turbos/RS Cosworths, which are also basically from the 1970s because "Dat cosseh ad one dose t3/t4 'ayebrids n dat is fookin' well fast init"...
