I disagree.
The U.S. produced more F4Us during 1942 then Germany produced Me-110s during 1939. The Luftwaffe got the led out and Me-110s participated in combat during September to December 1939. A similiar sense of urgency would have gotten the F4U into combat during 1942 at Guadalcanal and/or North Africa.

ALL P-38s had turbo-superchargers. The aircraft the US got from the rejected British order without turbos were called P-322s and none went overseas, all were used in the US as combat trainers or for experimental work.
There may have been issues with the turbo controllers on the earlier P-38s but these were somewhat temperature related and low altitude and or tropical use didn't cause as many problems.
