it'd be tricky to connect a shaft to the turbo blades and would need gearing for sure but it would probably work. seems like it would be taking energy from the engine though seeing as how the energy is coming from the upward motion of the pistons (the exhaust just being the medium like hydraulic fluid) which is just energy from another combustion cycle.
