Just wanted to chime in that this is entirely normal for a small displacement turbocharged engine. The solution, as you mentioned, is that RPM's need to take place as this is not an electric motor run on batteries.One note on the 2.3, it can be quite the dog at elevation. Once we got up high, in regular driving it wouldn't get out of the way of a snail unless it was over 2500 rpm. If the turbo wasnt spinning you didnt move at all. Not being from the mountains I had to make sure I was 1-2 gears down from where I thought I should be to just drive around, even casual driving.
There's nothing wrong with this behavior and there's nothing wrong with the motor.
The 2.7 will be the same way when starved of oxygen.
Fuel + spark + air = fire
Fuel + spark - air = no fire
Much the same way that your "average" person has no clue how to actually drive a 4wd car on track (or public roads), you must alter your driving for the type/style/capabilities/attributes of the vehicle, not the other way around. It's a machine.
