However those "advantages" are decided upon in terms of the ruleset which the teams work to. Someone out there in the powers-that-be decides, "ok well, we are going to give the turbo cars 1.4bar of turbo pressure". This is where the advantage comes from surely, or at least part of it? If they had a 500bhp turbo car and a 500bhp NA car, things would be about equal, if you disregard things like weight distribution and chassis dynamics. Of course you have the engine torque to work into the equation, so really, a 500bhp NA and turbo wouldnt be equal, you would have to work that into the rules, so that a NA engine was 500bhp, but the turbo was 470bhp, or something to that effect.
