It's not about the torque curve... Turbos typically have poorer throttle response. The actual spool up time can make throttle modulation difficult. Enought to possibly upset the balance while navigating a corner (at the limits, on a track). I know there are some methods to reduce this response time, but I don't think they will be appearing in daily drivers any time soon. You'll never see throttle response on a dyno graph, since it's floored the whole time.
