Turbo interchangability

[dls93tsi]

I have a question. can I put a 14b turbine housing on a 13b? what exactly is the difference between the two turbos, cause my friend has a 1g auto and i have a 14b w/ a bad cartridge, so I was wondering if I could put my ported housing and/or wheels and comp housing to make it essentially a 14b, or wouldnt that work.

im not sure about all of this but...i dont think it would be able to compress air cause the wouldnt the inlet be bigger then the compressor? or something like that i dunno im noob i guess.

Why? Why wouldn't you just put a 14b on your car?

B/c my 14b has over 212,000 miles on it and is SHOT. his turbo only has 150,000 on it and blows no smoke or has any shaft play, so we were wondering if we could swap housings

EDIT: I have a 16g on my car now, i was doing this w/ the old stocker sittin in my garage
