Turbocompounding is barely worth the cost, complexity, and reduced reliability in an airplane engine that runs 100% power for 5 minutes, then 75% until almost there.
In a road vehicle that sees 100% power for 5 or 10 seconds, then 10% power, it's useless. In a vehicle driven for gas mileage, the average power is even lower, and it's even more useless.
Turbocompounding only works at relatively high power settings.
