I think you can accomplish the same effect by restricting the
exhaust,
the intake upstream of the compressor, or both.  The easiest would
be
to restrict the intake.

Hans Conser

The problem with that Hans is fixed restriction will not allow
generating
the boost at high altitudes where he will need it.

Paul Lamar

If the throttle plate is upstream of the compressor wouldn't that do it?
Just adjust the throttle setting for the boost/power desired, from idle on
the ground
to wide open at altitude

What would do the trick is matching systems!
You want to run turbo? Get the low compression rotors - even if you only
want to turbo normalize.
Run enough boost to just get to or a little past high "compression ratio".
Match the wastegate, so it will blow off all excess air.
Match injectors.
Get an aftermarket controller for them.

We are talking aircraft engine! Why would you compromise with safety?
Turbo suplliers will work with you to find the right
turbo/compressor/housing combo to match!
