Still it doesn't explain why the car waits to deliver any power in the current gear...
I guess although D mode is nice, I might end up much more at the M mode than I would have liked.

I have never noticed any bothersome lag. There is a slight turbo lag but it's nothing like previous turbos I've owned.
With the DCT, it should always be engaged in the current gear. Yes, its possible the second clutch does shift between one gear lower and one gear higher based on the throttle but the DCT should not be causing a lag when hitting the gas.
What RPM do you experience the lag at? At 1500-2000 RPMs, there could be a brief moment before the turbo(s) spool up. Above 2500 or 3000, throttle response seems instantaneous. I will play with it tomorrow and report back.
