After that last turbocharger (if using more than one) you will want the exhaust be as free flowing as possible.

Okay. No diesels large or small then.

I suppose here the problem is that any vehicle big enough not to loose out by adding a TurboGen that weighs 30kg or more is probably only sold as a diesel option anyway. I suppose something of the size of a Lexus RX450h could make use of one.
