I'm familiar with gas turbine engine technology, turbo"chargers", turbo"superchargers", turbo"normalizers", and PRT's (power recovery turbines). I also understand the difference between a "compressor" like a centrifugal or axial flow, and a positive displacement pump (like a Roots).
The salient point here is that regardless of the design of the cold side, if there is no means to extract power from a fluid flow (turbine) to drive it, it's does not warrant the "turbo" moniker.
Again, not to be pedantic, but no turbine; no turbo.
