If you put a turbo on an engine that already has plenty of early power, then it still has that power, but it has more later on. You can also use turbo lag to your advantage. With an engine that has excellent power all around, but boosted power up top, then you can control whether you want to tap into that based on your shifting style. If you a more naturally aspirated feel, with quick response, keep the revs low by shifting up sooner. If you want that kick, hold into the higher rev ranges and shift later. You would certainly have to learn the car very well however.
