Funny; there are a lot of posts (some by very knowledgeable folks) stating that the marketing terms for Chevy engines back then was:
6 Cylinder = turbo thrift
Small Block = turbo fire
W engines = Turbo thrust
Corvair flat six = Turbo air
BBC = Turbo jet
These posters seem to indicate that, at least for a time, the W engines were also "turbo fire"
All just marketing names anyway, like the "fire ring" AC spark plugs.
