What is the main cause of the delay known as 'turbo lag' in a diesel rig?

Turbo lag is the brief delay between pressing the accelerator and feeling the engine boost. It is caused by the time required for exhaust gas volume to build up enough kinetic energy to spin the turbine wheel of the turbocharger.
