The lowered CR of a factory turbo makes off boost running slow and not that efficient either. My R32 Skyline gets beaten by every granny if I launch at idle and by the time boost builds, we've hit the speed limit, with granny still in the lead.
One solution would be Infinity's variable CR engine, or just add an electric supercharger to a standard NA unit, it wouldn't produce the peak power of an engine designed for forced induction, but would be enough for our interests.

In my 2016 civic, wasn't hard to stay off boost at all, and I could get boost at 1500rpm the turbo was so small.
