First quick impressions:
1. If spinning a turbine, the water is nothing more than a transfer medium, with it's own complexities, weight, and losses. I'd stick the turbine in the exhaust stream.
2. This is probably way out there and not viable, but I think it would be neat to be able to bottle up all that heat energy and use it to help heat the house or garage via quick-connect xfer lines or something.
