For once i agree with Ginge, I really dislike the feeling of heatsoak and I find it pretty noticeable. Completely different to how an HDi feels to drive which is what makes me think it's heatsoak causing the issue - the dt is great for the first 2 minutes of boost then just goes flat until i let it cool off by pootling for the next 15 minutes.
Unless you want to muck about with w/m inj as suggested above, or maybe an ice pack on the cooler every time you go for a spirited drive, then the best option is going to be an FMIC. From what i've experienced of cars with FMIC we're talking perhaps half a second difference in lag, if that. Difference in boost threshold, which is what i suspect you're actually talking about, was even less noticeable. If you're basing your assumptions on Phil's car then remember he's always got a boost leak lol, so it's going to take considerably longer to spool and respond to throttle inputs.
