In my car, the power comes on at 1950 rpm so there isn't that much a lag so to speak. Yes, you can be caught flatfooted when you are in low rpms and high gear but you will have the same issue in a NA car which is out of its powerband.

You are spot on.
It also helps on turbo engine to stroke it to bigger displacement.
A well setup/build turbo engine can just be as good as any na engine.
