Could it work on say 750 stock motor, low boost?

Bad idea, a 750 won't run well on diesel

If I get it right you want to use turbo off a diesel car on 750 engine without using diesel as fuel. It might work, but depends on the size and characteristic of the turbo you'll use, there are like hundreds of different diesel engined cars with very big differences, starting with engine capacity. Be more specific and someone might be able to help you with your question.
But it would still be good for you to read and learn more about turbocharging before asking unneccesary questions.

I think i'll look in to it abit more before asking again! Cheers Guys |

Will have a look later, thank you for the link. What am getting at is why is it only turbos off petrol motors people go for |

i think because the different workings of a diesel engine against the petrol engines. its just a thing that comes to mind, you should try and get some tech info from a diesel turbo and petrol one. and compare statistics.
reading the link will give a better insight about what turbo to use.

Diesels are mostly low pressure turbos and small . They just run out of puff on a bike..

A lot of diesel have VTG/VNT and have heat problems especially in cars - for motobikes it doesn´t really matter (less WOT time, less heat because of airstream). For sure they will work, but you have to size it right  www.turbobygarrett.com/turbobygarrett/turbo_tech_basicHint: Don´t take a VTG or VNT turbo. |

Two problems with Diesel turbos when used in petrol powered applications...
1. Diesels have very narrow rpm band from idle to max output 3-4,000rpm and they aren't throttled so run WOT all the time.
They must get to max airflow very quick ie just above idle so really run out of puff quick. A 2L+ car turbo might just about work with
a 750 - I know a 1.9L one didn't with my 1100!
2. Diesels are relatively cold exhaust engines 5-600 deg whereas Petrol ones are 850 - 950 degrees and the turbines wheels are more
fragile at these elevated temps.
No harm in trying it, but the results won't be very satisfactory!
