Not allowed. At least in the current LMP2 engine rules which are supposed to become the LMP1 2011 engine rules:
Quote:
5.1.2 – displacement limit
b/Turbo/Supercharged engines (gasoline): 2000 cm3 (4) 6 cyl. maximum
...
(4) Only one single stage charging device and air/air and/orair/water heat exchanger.
...
5.2.2 - Charging devices incorporating ceramic components, variable diameter inlets and adjustable internal vanes are forbidden. Adjustable internal vanes fixed on the turbine housing are permitted.
Rule 5.2.2 is the one that allows variable turbine geometry. I am not sure that VTG turbos can be done on a petrol engine without ceramic components.
