This is why some people prefer N/A because they don't have the disadvantage of the turbo lag or having to wait for it to spool up. personally a 500hp little turbo vs 500hp big turbo vs 500hp N/A. I think the NA would win follow by the little turbo... This is all my idea though and theory...
Good enough points, but low displacement high horsepower NA engines are usually peaky and do not have a wide power band.

Most of the time a good turbo setup will have a very strong midrange compared to an NA setup.

The NAs have to run heads and cam to make the high horsepower than make them unfriendly at low and mid RPMs.
