The turbine is powered by vacuum from the engine at low to moderate loads. (I drew an engine by forgot to mention it i guess) The available energy is further boosted by heating the air before it enters the turbine with heat otherwise lost in the exhausts from the ICE.
The turbine replaces the throttle plate and performs all the air restriction necessary for partial load operation of the ICE.
