Hello Chucks, I have had a look at your drawing and I not sure of a few things.
Firstly you have the HP compressor for the gas generator fed by an external "S" duct, there would be a lot of losses in air flow and it is not necessary, just draw the air from the main intake.
The air supply from the external "Blower" to feed the after burner, where is that coming from?
The 2 stage compressor seems to just pass air over the outside of the after burner, not sure of the point of this?
There are some very good books out there on building small DIY turbine engines from cheap old car parts. I would recommend building one of those first and then start experimenting with after burners, axial compressors and the like.
Cheers
