Default Forget forced induction on 2-strokes...but what bout OS's 4stroke?

Can't help but wonder, is a supercharger or turbo all the O.S. FS-26C II needs to match 2 stroke performance?
I hear a lot about superchargers and turbos for 2-stokes but that they don't work well, which is obviously purely a scam.

Think about it...the same reason that makes 2 strokes's emissions much worse than 4-strokes - the ports letting out burned and unburned gas more readily - is why you can't use forced induction...it all blows out the exhaust port.

The 4-stroke O.s. seems like the perfect engine to use FI on...needs more top end, more horsepower to go along with that awesome torque and sound!
O.S. even makes (or used to make) a supercharged 4-stroke model plane engine. Obviously the cost and rebuilds would be higher, but who cares!
