That's a steaming crock of shit. Building power NA or boosted uses the same formula, get as much air and fuel into the engine and blown up as completely and well timed as you can and make sure the physical components can handle it. Class over read chapter one in your book "how engines work" AGAIN ad take this note to your parents, you are obviously not applying yourself in class.
My CA18DE Silvia was crazy fun. Stripped down to a steel interior, wrapped HKS 4-2-1 header, HKS muffler, flipped the intake to the driver's side so it didn't ride across the radiator and fed through a slotted corner light, FC3S oil cooler between the headlight, bigger turbo injectors (too big, really) trimmed with an old SAFC, Toda lighweight flywheel, turbo VLSD, KYB suspension, BNR32 GT-R brakes , a mess of Greddy meters, Recaro bucket and a six point cage.
It had zero balls off a dig, but on a roll it sounded and wound up like sportbike and I caught more than a few guys napping. NOBODY believed it was NA, but it was a stock 1.8 set perfect with a good driver behind it who knew how to use all 150hp it dynoed out at the wheels.
The best run was against a carbed out hachiroku, the real 86. Neck and neck every gear. He KNEW what was under my hood because being a NA guy himself the sound hit his ears and the look on his face was priceless "Aw hell no, that's not a non-turbo Silvia, WTF?" That's when my passenger noticed his sneakers were melting. Long WOT run and no carpet and I guess one turn of heat wrap wasn't getting it done.
Starting to see why the BRZ doesn't bother me at stock power? I'm having all sorts of flashbacks to my old Silvia, but this car is so much better in every way, like a mile away, but down the exact same trajectory.
Here's the difference. As much fun as I got out of that 1.8, the idea of boring and stroking it to 2 liters would have been dumb. That engine didn't have that sort of rev ceiling or design strengths to chase that dream. When I ripped the motor down the rod bearings were terminally wiped from stretched bolts. The 4AG in that hachi, though, so much more potential there in a better engine.
Now, when the R winds up and the gate cracks and it takes off like a rocket screaming fire at the road out the gate dump, that's a whole different rush but I love it no more or less.
If you have planted your flag on one paradigm and claimed it "the right way" you're a fool and my 660 turbo truck would have probably taken your lunch money.

First fireup.
The build.

You don't have a 4A level engine under the hood of your twin and certaily not an L28 either, sorry, it's almost ALMOST as good as an old CA18. Know your machine and get real.
