Is a turbo from a gas car and diesel car be the same?
Can they be used in the same manner, such as a custom kit. Are there any do's and don't's?

the turbos are essentially the same in design and function, however the turbine housings on diesel turbos are realatively small compared to a gasoline engine.

You got it just the opposite. Most diesels use turbos with T4 exhaust sides and housings with A/R's in the high 80's and 90's (ie: .82, .86, .92, etc) which are too big for most street hondas that typically use a T3 exhaust wheel and a .63 A/R housing.
