Variable geometry turbos as in our N47s are superior even to twin scroll turbos. We have infinite scroll regulation.
The VNT/VGT turbos just get very expensive to build for them to withstand gasoline EGTs. Porsche started using them on their gas cars, and greatly reduced their lag.

Lag that is introduced by changing the volume of the tract to the intake can be improved by tuning. Factory flash turbo control was designed for the factory setup. I doubt anyone is tuning that.
