It would depend on the specs of the turbo if it would work well or not. Find out what the compressor and exhaust a/r's are as well as the type of flange. If it's not a t3 flange on the turbine housing, you'll probably have a hard time finding a turbo manifold to make it fit unless you go completely custom.

I'm currently using a turbo from a late 90's GM 6.5L diesel on my Prelude and it has worked great, but it's a standard t3/t04e, so it was easy to find a manifold and other parts (oil lines/fittings, etc..) to make it work.
