I posted a thread with the same exact concern a month ago. I love the truck but dont be in a hurry to pull out in front of traffic. Regardless of how much pedal I give it, there is no boost reading on the gauge for 2 seconds. It may not be "turbo lag" by definition but after hearing all the hype about 2 turbo's and instant response I havent been impressed at all. Its worse than a 6.0 or 7.3 with only 1 turbo. I have debated taking mine back to the dealer to see if there is a fix or TSB but havent taken the time to do it yet. Some people claim it gets better with some miles but I think its just a matter of getting used to it. I too thought mine was getting better until I drove something else for a few days and then jumped back in the truck.

I posted a thread in the super duty forum about my truck getting spanked by a Dirtymax today. Sigh!!! The truck is awesome in every category but it lacks in performance.
