How quick you turn the knob (turbo) is more important than the amount of travel needed since that can be offset by diameter (intercooler piping). That's essentially how it works.
Well let me ask this, do you understand how a turbocharging system works? It's not like a blow-dryer shooting pressure through a mile long tube. It's more like us taking a straw and blowing through it. The amount of air turbos tend to produce are insane.

I understand to a point, Ive had two Audi TTs that I was into modding and all to include upgrading the turbo on one. With these cars they used a recirculating diverter valve to help keep unused air in the intake system to help keep pressure up and not a blow off valve which just throws it away. I think that if they do something like this the length wont be a factor either, plus once air is moving it will continue to be there moving, its not like the piping will lose all the air and have to start over again. Plus ive always heard that with turbos you want a larger diameter exhaust, to a point, so as not to create much back pressure as the turbo itself does that and to go along with that you would want a better flowing air intake too.
