No, turbo lag is not a function of the wastegate. It is more a function of turbo size and intake volume. You better have a good selection of springs and be willing to do a lot of experimentation to use this method of controlling boost. With the wrong spring you could easily blow an engine. Better to do as others here have done and use a bleed valve to control it. Check out the posts on the subject.
