this is exactly how internet lies get started. Diesel turbo's are IDENTICAL to gasoline turbos.

This just in from the news desk....

all the Garrett T04B and T04E turbos that performance enthusiasts love were designed for over the road trucks...that were diesel.

Do us all a favor...if you dont know what you are talking about then stay out of conversations. the only reason a "diesel" turbo wont work on a gasoline engine is that it MAY be sized wrong. If you dont know what youa re looking at when buyign used turbos...then dont buy it. you have a 90% chance of buying something that is the wrong size.

although we appreciate the diatribe on the physics of the diesel engine by 400HP Escort Wagon (some of which were wrong).
