Twin-turbo to solve low end, top end power issue? Ok, I realize this isn't practical.

My next off-topic question is, do turbos boost the efficiency of gasoline engines too? That is, would my 2.4L TSX benefit from a boost?

I do realize the main benefit of a turbo is to allow a smaller size engine to be used while not compromising performance.
