No need to gear them down when the small engine boost is reduced by using multiple alternators in a serpintine setup the gasses won't create much boost to begin with and will be lessesned by the load an excess can be dealt with via traditional means Blow off valve tube.

you also have to look at the type of turbo being used you can get a sealed unit where it will have more drag due to its internal oiling system as compared to a f low through like in older car models.

1,000 different ways and no one has actually done it yet and talked about it at least ...

Good topic for discussion my 1st comment is because I thought that it needs to be tied that is why I try and not draw too much attention to it untill I did it myself and then let the criticism come out.
