Another way to think of forced induction is variable displacement. At 1 bar of boost, you are burning twice as much fuel and air as at ambient temperature / pressure so it is equivalent to having double the displacement.


I prob should have said that as..variable compression "ratio" engine ...meaning the engine is able to vary the distance of the piston from the cylinder head.
