I've had two turbocharged cars and never held a turbo in my hands so I'm having trouble picturing the exhaust housing and impeller.
If you drove the exhaust side with an electric motor, would it compress air? If it would, couldn't you just use one of those with a built in wastegate?
Edit: never mind, even if it worked, it would be horribly inefficient. The housing is clearly designed to encourage airflow in the other direction.
