You would likely need to build some sort of gear or multi-belt reduction drive to slow the output shaft. The picture below is the inverse, that is, the compressor side of a junk yard turbo being belt driven as an accesory (through a home-built speed increasing drive) and used to supercharge the intake tract of an engine.
