Does this sound ridiculous?

I imagine i have lot's of research to do, but i was just wondering if something like this might be possible, to install a turbo taken from a volkswagon jetta turbo diesel.

Feel free to laugh now...

From what i heard they're supposed to be Garrett turbos, and i have a uncle who's a mechanic/machinist who could help with the custom parts.

I was going to steal a garret T4 turbo off this tractor or some kind of diesel machine engine in a repair shop I was at. I was like wtf, I want that! It would bolt up to any t2 manifold too.
