Default Low pressure "vs" high pressure turbo?

Sunday I test drove the new Volvo S60 on a parking lot course. Quick car. The most impressive thing about it is that it had no turbo lag at all. What is the diffrence between the low pressure turbo on the Volvo and the high pressure turbo on the 1.8?

can you elaborate? I've chipped mine (Neuspeed 1.0)and it seems to have the same amount of lag as before the chip.

From what I've read on the forum I might try the APR. I chose Neuspeed because it was less expensive and the Neuspeed lab is only 30 minutes from my house. Not to mention that they've been in the business for 20 years. Dont get me wrong, I am happy with the chip I just wonder if there is something better out there.
