Depends on the size of the turbo, the bigger it is the lower the pressure it needs to deliver the same power. I think one publication said it makes peak torque at 5250 rpm so that is not a little turbo, pretty big turbo imo and laggy as fuck.
The complexity of this drivetrain would make me only want to lease the car, owning it after warranty would be asking for trouble.
