turbo alternator

[Christ]

Even under the hood, engineers don't get the final say. See my sig.

This could work properly only if the setup was designed to allow bypass of exhaust gasses when there is an obvious pressure rise, and a CVT pulley to allow the alternator (which, at this point, should be a permanent magnet generator, not an alternator) to constanly spin at it's most efficient RPM, regardless of load and input speed.
