What size garret CHRA are you compairing? As big as I am going it may be closer...
If the garret TS turbine housing needs some TLC to get the holset CHRA to bolt up it will get it.
If you were to try and put a Garrett turbine wheel in a holset center section you will have to check the diameters of each shaft. Which as long as they are close you can get over or undersized bearing to make it fit. Then the other problem will be the length of the shaft itself. If it is not long enough the their will be nothing to tighten the compressor nut on and if it is too long then the piston ring and on other parts may not line up right. I think that the heat sheilds are rather simular. (need to look at one side by side) so that should not be too big of a problem.
Why do you want to use a Garrett turbine housing. If you need one that has a T3 or T4 inlet Bullseye has one that will do that.
Also why do you want to use a Garrett turbine wheel?? The holset wheels are a VERY good design. The only thing that I can think of would be to use one of garretts new GT line, but those things are not cheap wheels compared to the holsets.
I hope this helps.

A buddy of mine has a full garrett in .63 and he says its day and night. Which one is bigger yours or pte (in case if you saw them side by side). Thanks.
