Put up a boost curve. 5AT or 6MT and which turbo kit? You should not have lag to 5k with GT28s... Full boost on JWT 700bbs by 3.5k or so on street, but on dyno my 5AT would not peak until 4.5k rpms because TC would not lock until then.

Should not have lag on those. Maybe a leak on either cold side or exhaust side causing extra time to build pressure. Twin gt30 setups spool sooner than 5k

I have twin GT3082r and they dont lag that bad. I would have your mechanic look over everything. What exhaust and cams you running?
