Why not use a large RC permanent magnet motor (rated upto +200k rpms), remove the and compressor side of the turbo, and instead, machine a coupler on to join the turbine shaft to the motor. Then pass this through a DC - DC converter to 14.4v to charge the battery.

Maybe this + a controller that only enables the existing alternator to activate whilst braking (to act as a supplement charger)= maximum efficiency.

Maybe try negate some of the increased backpressure/reduced flow casued by an additional turbine by removing a muffler or two, as turbine itself acts as a damper for sound anyway.
