A system for controlling the geometry of a variable geometry compressor. The system having: a mechanical linkage operable to vary the compressor geometry; a first fluid-powered actuator arranged to operate the linkage and configured to be powered by a pressurized supply of an incompressible fluid; and a second fluid-powered actuator arranged to operate the linkage and configured to be powered by a pressurized supply of a compressible fluid. Wherein the first and second actuators are further arranged to operate in combination on the mechanical linkage such that a first actuator force exerted by the first actuator on the mechanical linkage sums with a second actuator force exerted by the second actuator on the mechanical linkage.
