I have been told that a larger incooler will give me power and will raise the point where the turbo kicks so I will get turbo lag is this true?

Then on the other side a larger dump pipe and freer flowing exhaust - including cat - will help with turbo spool up.Turbo lag is a fact of life when it comes to turbo engines, the advantage that you have is that the 4L engine in the falcons minimises the lag and brings booston fairly early.Just remember to get a custom tune when you do any exhaust mods. Search around the technical areas of the forum, you will learn alot!

Your best bet to minimize lag is as short induction route as possible and a good tune. Plus the things Senna said.
