its been done a few times, with good results. ideally you want matching injectors (not cheap on PD engines !), and obviously you'll need a remap to make it work properly... bare in mind also the pd150 has a front mounted intercooler so the boost pipes may be different.

seems more people are going for hybrid turbos these days.. from the likes of allard motorsport.
