Yes, but the turbine in a turbo isn't a peltier junction or a stirling engine. Preserving the exhaust heat is basic PV=NRT stuff, decrease T and P goes down. The IC is a gas generator, and waste heat is entropy's way of saying screw y'all (unless it is cold outside, then maybe you have a use for it).
