Why do that but not futz around with gearing? Iono how forced induction would action, but at most there would be a minimal drop in BSFC, and you could achieve similar for the most part with the right size wheel/tire combo and maybe a fifth swap depending on what 020 you have. There's no need to drop power output for economy for most engines below 3-4L IMO.
