Has anyone ever used their stock turbo for something else?

I was wondering if anyone has ever tried using their stock evo turbo on something else. Like another car or truck. If it's possible I was thinking about trying that.

The TD04 and TD05 are an icon on modded VW Bug and sand dunes. If you are a person like me that goes to car meets, shops,track and reads a lot you will see that many VW bug , sand buggies and VW bug baja custom fits Mitsubishi turbos into a 4 to 1 collecting vertical header(turbo manifold) and the use the Mitsubishi turbos with ot without intercoolers.
