One of the very interesting things about it is it was mechanically
turbocharged to coin a phrase.

Actually, the word you are looking for is "supercharged."

"Turbocharger" is a contraction of "turbine-supercharger," meaning a
supercharger that has no mechanical drive.

No that is the correct term. I coined it.
The RR supercharger is driven by an expansion device. Namely
the small Wankel engine above it. Superchargers are normally
driven by gearing of some sort. In this case the supercharger
is partially driven by the waste energy in the exhaust,
much like a turbo charger. In effect it is also a turbo compound.

Paul Lamar ...No rotor no motor.

How about complify/complification(intensionally awkward)?   coined it
way back in high tech.
- how to take a simple problem(solution) and produce a complicated
(typically non-working) system :)
