    No, not really, unless you go custom.  Frankly, I have an MC-2 running 
(about 8.5:1 compression after head skimming) a K26, and the turbo lag is 
minimal, I have full boost by 3K RPM.  Those with earlier low compression 
MC's often ask if I have a K24 due to the lack of lag.  
    In this scenario, I have the best of both-the low lag and the high speed 
volume required at high RPM's.  The fact that my 80q is much lighter than a 
T44 also helps.  
    If you are looking for more of that "V8 feel", go with the K24, it will 
reduce your high RPM performance, but it will pull virtually with little lag 
at all.  If you like a "sportier" motor, use the K26 and continue with better 
high RPM performance.
