Reply to comment by Gaboik in ELI5: What is a "naturally aspirated" engine? Is it always desirable? Are there "artificially aspirated" engines ? by Gaboik

Yes. With the turbo it's commonly called "Spooling up".

Also, the turbo benefits from air temperature differential (hot exhaust vs. cold intake air).

On really hot days you may get reduced performance impact. (It still works)

With new turbo technology that delay has become a lot shorter.

Not sure what you mean with temperature differential there. All engines be edit from colder intake air because it is denser, and thus packs more oxygen by volume.
