In previous Mario Karts, I haven't had any trouble getting the turbo boost at the beginning of the race. But I can't seem to figure it out in Mario Kart 7 - how do I time the gas to get the starting boost?

To initiate a turbo at the start of the race, hold down the acceleration button right when the number "2" appears, or just a little after it appears.

For me, the trick was to hit the gas right as "2" was disappearing. – KatieK Apr 2 '12 at 22:10
Yeah it's about half way between the '2' and '1' beeps. – DisgruntledGoat Apr 9 '12 at 11:29

To get the turbo boost, start accelerating when the "2" starts to fade. When it says "GO!" you'll be dashing in no time!
