An assembly including a first turbocharger, the first turbocharger including a first turbine and a first compressor, the first turbine arranged in a turbine flowpath to be driven in rotation by an exhaust gas flowing at a variable flow rate through the turbine flowpath. The first compressor arranged in a compressor flowpath to be driven by the first turbine to urge an intake gas to flow through the compressor flowpath. The first turbine and first compressor being supported for rotation in bearings supplied via an oil flowpath at an oil pressure. The assembly further including a seal arranged between the oil flowpath and the compressor flowpath to resist leakage of the oil into the compressor flowpath and a flow control means configured to control a rotational speed of the first turbine and first compressor by controlling the flow of exhaust gas in the turbine flowpath.
