Message	properly set-up turbo motor would have a lower compression ratio (either by different pistons, reshaped domes in the heads, or a thicker head gasket). "Slapping on a turbo" to a normally aspirated motor would be a stupid thing to do. Would it run? Yes. Would it make power? Yes. Would it make a lot more power? No, because you would have to limit your boost pressures. I know this is all a theortical discussion. But at some point, real-world constraints have to be factored in. Otherwise, you could start debating the benefit of running six tiny turbos (one for each cylinder, YAY!) vs. the two "big" ones we have on our cars now. Next in line please.....
