I think the main reason that they are more common on diesels and not gas cars is that diesels have lower EGTs and the mechanism is not as robust as a normal fixed geometry turbo. Basically it's a reliability concern, it may wear quickly under high temps. Maybe they have improved in recent years though with better materials or something. I have heard of a few turbo miatas using Garrett VNT turbos.
