Yes Chris did when he made his >200BHP with the big VNT turbo, he also used it to relocated the turbo as it wouldn't fit behind the engine.
If you're going to do it the best way is to model the exhaust flange and then get it laser cut in 10mm stainless and also the flange for the new turbo in about 6 - 8 mm and then weld the pipes up custom from there. I might be making one up soon for my 1.6 HDI I'll try and get some pictures if I do. I think getting rid of the log manifold will help quite a lot in terms of EMPs.
