.... Turbochargers don't turn "waste" exhaust heat energy into 
intake air.  The velocity of the exhaust exiting the engine turns 
the turbine side of the turbocharger.....

Dan,
You have to be a little careful here, because the exhaust heat
is the -reason- there is high velocity exhaust.  If you cool the
exhaust before the turbo, the pressure drops and so does the 
velocity of the flow.  The heat is measure of the energy.  This
is why the best place to mount a turbo is right on the exhaust 
manifold.  More heat = more power to extract.
