There is a smooth transition as the turbo comes online, you don't really feel a kick as you do a continuous surge of power beyond what you would expect from a n/a car. It is most apparent above 3000 rpm when you are cruising on the highway and floor it. The car should just keep pulling. Kind of hard to describe but a more refined application of power than older turbo models.
