Whether volumetric efficiency stays the same is part of the basic question, and I think input pressure does effect VE.

If you double displacement at half the input pressure does the HP stay the same? I don't think so, it mucks around with the thermodynamics and you get less power.

Two practical issues make this question seem silly, the amount of boost is easy to change, and an engine optimized for boost is setup differently from a NA motor, other than low boost systems like 7 psi lots of other stuff gets added or changed.
The real question that should be a poll, is what are you trying to say?
