I'd imagine that adding a turbine will lower the fan's CFM (efficiency), negating any gains. It's the equivalent of sticking a generator on a motor to build a perpetual motion machine. You might be able to recoup a small gain, though.
Rather, I would clean the condensor grille pristinely to help increase the fan's efficiency.
