You might be surprised about the force that could be produced with the turbo, especially if it is specifically designed for the purpose. As it is, the turbine won't back up the exhaust too badly, and with a wastegate, you can control how much pressure is being feed through the turbine.

I agree, though... supplementing with a thermoelectric generator couldn't hurt.
