Yep

Yes, I've thought of using a rear mount turbo to power an alternator. I just haven't had the time--hoping this winter. I have a Dakota so there is plenty of room under there.

My plan, though still in the thinking stage, is to find a salvage yard turbo, plumb it into the exhaust, machine a collar to mate it to my alternator shaft, extend the wiring, and replace the engine acc. drive belt.

I think it'll work. If it doesn't, it should be easily reversible.
