You can do tuning tricks to make this finite time even less, but there is still some amount of time for this to happen. This finite time is what is called 'turbo lag'

Now, in the small turbos of the S55, this time is incrediblys hort as it is, and apparently one goal of the F8x engineers was to make it feel like a normally aspirated car, so they likely already used some of these tuning tricks, but it is still going to exist no matter what.

Exactly.
