"it is also taking a little time for the exhaust gasses to reach the turbo-charger, for the turbo-charger to spool up and for the air to go through the intercooler and reach combustion".  During WWII most fighters did not have turbo-chargers, the main exceptions being the P-38 and P-47.  So turbo spool-up was not a factor except in some USAAF fighters.  I am pretty certain no Merlins saw combat with turbos.
