Yes, it is a Turbo, but I haven't noticed the spooling up sound. I think one of the advantages is you get a little more power out of a lower displacement engine and still have a fairly low fuel consumption provided you are not running all out under load. It may also even out some of the lugging propensity. As for raw torque, you need the cubes. My previous tractor 59HP vs 55HP was naturally aspirated 3 liter vs the Kioti 2.1 Litre I think. The three litre was significantly stronger and seemed a little thirstier. Both do/did fine for my purposes but I like the lower fuel burn these days.
Did I mention I wish Kioti provided a LOCKING FUEL CAP, yep, I think I did several times - anyone listening?
