Off the top of my head, I would say that the vanes inside the turbo, that catch the exhaust that drives the turbo are adjustable for pitch. To catch more, or less, exhaust, to spin the turbo faster, or slower.
Like a variable pitch propeller on a plane.

Or maybe the driven blades that move the intake air are variable.
