Turbo Diesel parts, Fact or fiction..

["Langford, Cory" <Cory.Langford@icbc.com>]

 OKay, 

Simple question for someone who has never played with turbos.

Is the turbo from the TDI modifiable to fit an 8V engine (say JH)?

I know there are more and more TDI's being wrecked, which means extra
parts (like manifolds & turbos, etc) are coming way down in price,
so a project to tinker with would not be that expensive.

I am sure someone more knowledgeable in turbos could think
up a dozen questions or scenarios on this swap/modification,
the primary one I can think of is if the Manifold and 
turbo system are easily bolted up (with a little mods)
how would you control boost?  I thought the TDI "brains"
did all that along with detonation, etc.  One electronic
package.  Am I wrong?  

Any thoughts around playing with this type of setup?
