I have a feeling you'd have problems controlling the boost pressure with a setup like that. The airflow requirements of a car engine are constantly changing, whereas a jet turbine is designed to run at constant speed. What happens when you're boosting hard and the turbine is spinning at 100,000 rpm, then you lift your foot off the throttle? Is the turbine going to stop instantly? Then what about the reverse situation, when you floor the throttle in first and the revs jump to redline in a second or so - can the turbine accelerate fast enough to keep up with the engine?
