Eli5: how do some cars with turbos max out their torque and horsepower at a low rpm?

Question

My car has a turbo, and it makes max torque and horsepower at 2k rpm and drops off from there. In theory, shouldn’t the higher the rpm’s are mean more torque and horsepower with more air going through the turbo?

Answer 1

Do you mean it shifts gears automatically when you hit 2k rpm?
