engines that were specifically designed and manufactured to be
turbocharged and supercharged are generally rated at
lower 'compression ratios' compared to naturally aspirated engines.
This is because the forced introduction of fuel/air into the
combustion chamber raises the 'ratio'
TDI is turbocharged so compression has to be lower. Max boost is 18psi I
believe.
Fuel efficiency is directly related to compression ratio other things being
equal.
