You don't really want to do that.  From what I understand, the G60 is
rather inefficient to begin with (ie. it produces a _lot_ of heat) and
putting it on a larger displacement engine is not going to help.  You're
either going to end up with a much lower level of boost, or you're going
to have to drive the compressor that much harder producing even more
heat.

The G40 would exacerbate the problem since it was designed for engines
smaller than 1.8L.

Anyone who has better (or additional) information, feel free to correct
me.
