I think you just put this to bed, right here (again).

A turbo is a pressure based engine. Heat is, in essence, a form of pressure, in that the molecules react more creating a larger pressure on the surroundings (e.g. turbine). Calling it a heat engine is only a part of the puzzle, it's not the wrong answer, it's just that it's only a part of the right one.
