No. You failed to realise a turbocharger consists of two items.
At a simplistic level, it does provide more air to allow more fuel to be burnt. Nothing was said about "push[ing] the pistons around".

No, I haven't. Boltar said "The compressed air doesn't help push the pistons around". It does - and you get back _some_ of the energy you put into driving the supercharger.
You'd need to get back all of it, and then a bit more, to have perpetual motion.

Are part-time bandleaders semi-conductors? Only if they've had a sex-change. Then they're trans-sisters.
But everything boltar says is wrong.
A "1 in 3 hill" was easy to imagine, you ascended 1 foot for every 3 feet you went horizontally, although I think it should have been for every 3 foot of road.
But the new signs we have in the UK like "25%" are really illogical. I'd imagine a 100% slope to be a vertical cliff, but it's not, its a 45 degree slope.
Why don't they just put up signs in terms everyone would understand, degrees! Everyone knows what 20 degrees looks like.
Celsius or Fahrenheit?
Chapeau!
Very funny.
