Has anyone considered a turbine generator on the input side to generate power? It may be less power, but, seeing as a gas ICE needs that restriction anyway, why not put it to use? If you really wanted to get fancy, it could double as a modest turbocharger.

Turbochargers are often quoted to provide some noise suppression, and nowadays that water-cooling is a common feature on them it may also be useful to provide some heat recovery. Possibilities seem nearly infinite...
