Don't worry HeeBeeGeeBee! This bit confuses a lot of people!

My understanding is that to use FORCED INDUCTION on a production car you must also reduce the engine capacity, so that the overall capacity after the 1.4 equivalency is applied keeps the car in the same class that it would have been in had the forced induction not been applied!

Now if that is clear you are doing better than me!
