Fair enough.
Turbo or supercharging is used to increase VE of a piston engine. Simply by increasing the pressure charge will increase volumetric efficiency to above 100%.
The Compressor in turbine engine and is the part that forces the air into the combustion section - a pure jet needs forward airspeed,like the WW2 buzz bomb to work.
