Default Does it matter what a turbo comes off of?

I saw a turbo that I am interested in. The turbo is a Borg Warner turbo 88mm with a T4 flange and it came off a john deer tractor. Could you run that on a car? Would it work?

Sorry for the noob question. Flame suit is on lol.

Thanks.

what are the wheel dimensions? housing a/r, etc.

Diesel turbos are usually usable, but not optimal.

The T4 flange has nothing to do with any dimension on the turbo. that is like identifying an engine by what size throttle body is on it.....worthless info.
