I'm sure it'll work (if he can keep everything leak-free etc.). It's just that it will offer poor response and very high boost treshold.
Gases coming out of engine have temps up to 950 C. This allows them to expand (PV=nRT, where T is temperature). This is good as there will be more gas to keep the turbine spinning. Typically, you will see 200 deg. temperature drop over the turbine.
But in his case, gases will propagate trough (lengthy) exhaust, cool down and contract. There won't be much gas lest to keep the wheels spinning. He might try to wrap the pipes going to turbo but I still believe he's looking at full boost arriving in 4000-4500 RPM range (if not higher). Then there are those long boxy air ducts that must be filled.
It would make pretty good hi-speed hauler or something...
