  1. The turbosupercharging system in the P-47 is the primary reason that the aircraft was so large. A lot of the fuselage between the engine and the turbo was taken up with ducting and the intercooler. On the P-38 the landing gear in the booms was basically behind the engine and its accessory drives. The only place for the turbos was behind the gear. Along with the radiators. The intercoolers where actually in the outer wings. The P-38 actually had a lot of parasitic drag.
