Next step, jet engine! aka: gas generator.
The piston engine is acting as a gas generator
to run the turbo which helps power the engine's
output shaft (not to mention the thrust factor,
wonder how much that added?)
Not a turbocharger in the way many
think of it...

Like invisioned for the P&W R-4360 51VDT prototype which attempted the concept of using the piston engine as a gas generator in conjunction with a combination turbocharging/thrust producing gas turbine
