Turbo chargers allow you to have a smaller engine, the boost is used only for acceleration, during cruising, if the engine is sized right, the small engine will be able to maintain the cruise speed without boost from turbo.

In that scenario, you should have lower weight with small engine and power when you need it.

Displacement on demand does not lower vehicle weight.
