   Right as far as I'm aware the turbo I had with my kit is a GT17 and the turbo I'm going to run on my build is a GT25, After looking at them both the housing on the 25 looks smaller than the 17 specifically the openings on the induction and cooler sides of it. Also I have all the necessary parts on the 17 housing to connect the inlet to the turbo as the 25 didn't come with the 3"flange.
   Am I right thinking I can just swap the around like you can do with the T2 and T25 housings?

   it would depend on the geometry of the turbine wheel
