Ive been toying with the idea of setting one or two up on a gasser and see if there's any good gains or not.

You need to think very large diesel to use in a rotary application for both the exhaust flow and for the compressor map to make any useable hp.
The Garret VNT's don't last too well in the marine industry. I've seen them fail after less than 100hrs. Clogged with soot. In fact, Volvo Penta (who does some cool things with their diesels including twin charging) suggests in their regular maintenance to lube all the external components to prolong the life of the VNT operation... which is a simple actuator run off the vacuum pump.

So that you do not over spin the turbo or overboost your engine.

More importantly it decreases the EMAP which leads to a happier more efficient engine.
