Ram charging is the process of "whiffling in" a nice long column of air into the cylinders at atmospheric pressure. This ram charging is said to intensify at high rpm by each charge pushing the charge in front and pulling the one behind. My 1967 230SL made use of that principle and it was quite effective. I think the air pressure produced in the intake system by a turbocharger would completely run over the ram charging, the push of the turbocharging being so much more effective.
