Exactly. Cheap *and* VERY efficient.
Boost is only a problem if you run it too lean... I for one would LOVE to
see a setup like this. The VNT is a great alternative to a wastegate
assembly. Just ask Mr Shelby about his 1989 CSX, or ask anyone who was
bright enough to realize that in 1990, you could get an intercooled VNT 2.2
in a Shadow, Daytona or LeBaron.
Anyhow, here's some links to pretty good pages on Turbos. Check it out:

Oh yea, just for kicks, here's one of my favorite pages:
