I wouldn't think the the max pressure that the waste gate kicks in would have much to do with the lag.
This is quite typical of a turbo's response. You get very little response at lower rpm's and then, in a very short period of time, the rpm's climb into the area where the turbo can spool and the boost climbs accordingly.

You're correct about the wastegate.
