Whoops, hold on a minute! The boom isn't pressurized by the exhaust. There's a seperate fan driven by the engine that draws air in from the top of the boom, near the fuselage. Also, the majority of torque compensation is derived from the Coanda effect of the boom's design, not from vectored thrust.
