Aircraft engines where built with mechanisms to run them at speeds that
reduce the service time. They where designed that way. It wasn't some
modification or tweak. It was done in one of three ways; by removing
the manifold pressure limitations (i.e Spitfire V), by injecting methanol
and then water to prevent knock (i.e. P47) or by increasing the
supercharger speed and injecting cold fuel after the supercharger to
prevent knock (i.e. FW190).

one aircraft i routinely fly is "overcharged" without the use any of those methods.
I cannot say for sure what the Devs have in mind... but i'm willing to assume that they have a plan on this matter that does not involve "magic" in any way shape or form
