That,^, is exactly what i'm trying to find out.

in the above example, the turbocharged engine needs to be 1 litre smaller to produce similar power/torque output to a NASP engine. Does anyone have a example of this for a car manufacturer?

Even though they produce similar power/torque outputs, why does the turbocharged engine use less fuel? Lighter engine maybe?
