The answer is no.

He can, however, take the turbine and compressor housings off of the TD04L-13G and bolt the TD04 housings from his 9B onto the 13G's CHRA, effectively making it a TD04-13G.

It would take little more than some patience and a good socket set to do.

***EDIT***
After a little more research, I found out that this is more confusing than even I had originally thought. The following post is from stealth316.com, a site that specializes in 3000GT VR-4's and Stealth TT's:

The MHI part numbering system, and the possible combinations, can be somewhat overwhelming and confusing. For example, the MHI Sport Turbo Upgrade for our cars is usually referred to as the TD04L-13G-6cm2. This turbo clearly has the standard TD04 (49177) housings (at least by external appearances). However, both the stock TD04-09B-6 and the upgrade TD04L-13G-6 use the 49377 cartridge (but note the different complete part numbers) from the TD04L turbos. TD04 turbos used in other cars (even some other TD04-09B turbos) use the 49177 cartridge.

Furthermore, Greddy makes a turbo kit of TD04L-13G's that bolt onto VR4's:
Turbo kit.

So, I guess the answer is MAYBE.

It's possible that it may fit and it may not. If it does not, he can still use his compressor and turbine housings to make it fit.
