Do you mean apart from the obvious difference between a petrol and diesel engine?

Probably you know that and i know thats not the question, but just because of experience i want to tell you that you CAN NOT Fit a Diesel Turbo to a Petrol Engine!

The Exhaust Temperatures are MASSIVELY different and a Diesel Turbo cannot handle Petrol exhaust temperatures!

Away from that, yes thy principle is the same

People fit diesel turbos to R5's because they have stronger internals
