This has probably been addressed before, but are auto turbos useable
at all in an aircraft application?

Yes. For the most part they are the same.
Brice Daunay has been flying around with a stock
three rotor turbo.

The size of the turbo and other things make the best turbo
for an airplane different than the best turbo for a car.
There have been books written on the subject.

In addition and in our case we like to go for a higher temp 
turbine. Namely Inconel.
