The Focus Aerocharger Variable Vane turbo was the only thing on the market for Zetecs for a while there and the people who had it liked it.
The only problem asside from tuning that wasn't as good as it could have been, was that the vanes would eventually gunk up and would start overboosting and would ruin the turbo or blow the engine.
I've heard of a few guys who fixed the overboosting by just putting in a aftermarket external wastegate but that kind of defeats the purpose of the vanes.
The main benefit it had was it had an internal oil supply that would just need to be refilled every 3000 mi so it could be mounted below the oil level if needed.
