Think of it this way:
A high horsepower, normally aspirated engine is like an Italian mistress: Extremely exciting, high strung, tempermental, erotic, and something you have we dreams about. But she's not something you can live with for any length of time.
A high horsepower turbo engine is like a German mistress: Reliable, predictable, very skilled, comfortable, strong as an ox, and something you can live with forever. But she isn't the something that gives you wet dreams.
