I really don't see why not as long as the C/R isn't to high and you don't go mad an the boost, i really can't see why not.

Best 1/4 mile 13.2 seconds @116 mph
First 5 port miniturbo to make over 200 bhp on a carb?

Later blocks had the "turbo" spec bearings. Also the transfer casing on the turbo had a larger nose bearing.
As MW said though, go easy on the boost and it will be fine but all the little tricks come into play when you want to start running a lot of power.
