Sorry, that would not work. Turbochargers spin incredibly fast. Smaller turbos can spin over 100,000 rpm, and some up to 200,000 rpm. Gearing it down is a big pita, you'd have to make your own journal bearings to take that kind of rpm input. Then you have to find something that will spin that fast without blowing up. It gets complex really fast.
