The electronics to control it are more complexe. The VNT our cars have are rediculously small. 14-16lbs of boost is pushing the little thing pretty hard. Yeah they spool quick but are choked off feeling to me. Of course I have a big 2.5 with lots of exhaust work. The 90 CS VNT I drove the other day which was stock spooled quickly but really didn't go anywhere. My 2.5 has more grunt, is faster up top by a long shot and get's better MPG than his 2.2 VNT. If he drives to my house he has to stop just before town to fill up. If I drive to his house (Doing 10-15 to even 75MPH faster than he drives) I make it there with 1/4 tank left.  He has to run in the boost most of the time at 75MPH. Even up the 6000ft pass I only push 0psi. Most of the time I'm between 12-15" of Vac on the flats. Now if you could get a Monster size VNT to work then it might be cool. Something that could open up and let the exhaust breathe.
