The Turbine side-
Turbine inlet with arrow showing beginning of exhaust scroll opening where vanes are located.
Note: The VNT benefits from advanced technology as far as blade design goes- Notice how much more aerodynamic it is compared to it's larger Garrett Turbo II relative which was designed back in 1970!
Another view- Smaller, lighter turbine = faster spool up.

Here is a backside view of the control ring and vanes sitting in the turbine housing scroll.
