Unless it's REALLY cheap to get an engine, I wouldn't get a spare. The best you can do is probably raise compression ratio, then keep a jug of E85 on you as anti-knock additive.
Also a rear mount turbine generator would be ineffective for increasing efficiency, you want it before the cat. You probably want to modify the turbine housing for reduced backpressure.
An easier way to collect waste energy from the exhaust would be this:

If you use that AND a turbine, you'd be looking at some ridiculously high thermal efficiency though.
