Lancia did that in rally in their Delta S4 in 1985 (I'd also guess it has been done before then by others)! They were able to reduce turbo lag and obtain and official 480 hp from a bit less then 1.8l. Some claim they made more like 560 hp. The engine was tested up to 1000 hp.
It's a pretty good idea and a neat system. However, electronics along with clever modern controls offer flexibility and capability that systems that are essentially all mechanical just can't offer.
By the way great contributions in the last few posts Boss330!
