Bob is right. The Merlin was supercharged, not turbocharged.
So they managed to retain good performance by using a dual-staged supercharger with twin-speeds?

And no, I'm not going to explain the difference. Go and look it up. Or have a good look at this pic.
I do know the difference between a turbocharger and a supercharger....
