not really.
The term compression has never been used to describe forced induction.
Merc is the only brand that use the term Kompressor as a marketing name for it's superchargers.. but they didn't use the term compression.. it's just a brand name that nobody else used.
Turbo/supercharge just forces more air in the chamber
And then more fuel is injected via a seperate process.
Sure on a physics level, the air is compressed. the Fuel isn't. Not by the Forced induction it ain't.
It's just forced induction.. Nobody calls it compressed induction
Forced induction is about air only.
Compression points to the piston compressing the Air/fuel mixture.
