I know it works with diesels.
The theroy behind it works by using 2 heat engines to do work from one heat source.
In a gas engine if you size the turbo properly you can boost fuel economy, but if you go crazy with it and size the turbo to run in say the 3600rpm and up range, it will just be an exhaust restriction when driving normally.
You dont want to use a Holset VGT designed for a diesel on a gas engine.
