One of the "largest" problems with them, pardon the pun, is the size of the exhaust housings on them. When you start getting up around 1.0 a/r, and many of them are 1.05, that would create way to much lag to really be effective with our engines. Although, I have seen a few on there with lower a/r's around 0.70 or 0.80 which may be a little moere manageable. Maybe change the exhaust housing of one and you'd have an ok turbo to play with. Somone will probably post the obligatory shot of one of their turbos split in half, which looks to be held together by glue, but I have only seen that one incident and that was a long time ago.
All in all, it's a mixed bag, you'd have to decide whether it would be worth it for yourself.
