Default just a random guess.......
mabye like a twin turbo (sequential) with a smaller one for the lower rpm's to reduce rotating mass and parasitic losses, and a larger one for big power. again, just a guess....

Default A blower with two compressor stages...
The P-51D was powered by a two stage supercharged V-12, displacing 25 Liters. Big power...

Default Indeed... you can feel it in your liver... deep V-12 growl... instant goosebumps!
2000 horsepower, up to 3000 or more if you ran it into the "wartime emergency" operating range.
