No it wont. That much water vapor would be a fart in the wind. I have been to places in africa and the middle east where its very humid all day and night. Just because its desart doesn't mean its dry.


That wont work. Turbochargers are heat engines.
You use that heat to do work. It can drive a turbine or boil water.
Boiling the water is work, if you boil water before the turbine so much sensible heat will be lost to latent heating of the water the exhaust stream wont have a high enough temperature to expreance much of any temperature drop when it goes accrost the turbine, there for wont be able to do any work.
Turbochargers already boost fuel economy by up to 20% on diesels.

Turbochargers are /pressure/ engines, not heat engines. If the water evaporates while crossing the face of the turbine, the steam expansion rate creates a higher pressure differential across its face, thus increasing the power by which it can be driven. The heat is completely circumstantial to this process.
