There are some interesting differences between the turbo and non-turbo engines that might play a role in how much power you "feel". Sometimes people notice higher torque more than higher rpm. The maximum torque on the turbo v. n/a engine (engine not wheels) is rated as follows (note the rpm)
2.0 turbo, manual: 194.6 ft-lb at 2100 rpm
2.0 turbo, auto: 170.2 ft-lb at 2000 rmp (in other words, torque starts dropping earlier)
2.3 na engine: 155.4 ft-lb at 4300 rpm (4300???)
It would be interesting to compare real curves, with the actual wheels and tires, same gas, mesured in the same test bay... fat chance I suppose.
