in theory it would work, but you would need to have an actual turbine to do it...and i think you're rather have your turbine in your turbo. right?
without a turbine, its impossible due to thermodynamics. 2nd law states that energy in a system dissipates over time. tell me, if the energy is dissipating, how are you spending energy to accelerate.
also:
hot air can only cool down if it expands rapidly, and since the exaust is already under slightly more than 1 atmosphere, it would be impossible to cool it down without additional energy of a vacum pump(turbine).
the only way to accelerate a gas is to force it through a smaller opening. if the same volume has to flow through a smaller space, it speeds up. however this creates considerable backpressure.
its impossible to accelerate exaust away from an engine without the use of additional energy input(turbine)...but that would kinda defeat the purpose of acclerating it in the first place.
