Default T3/T4 converted to straight T4

ok guys i have a little dilemma here, i just purchased a rev hard manifold for my H and it's flanged for a T4. I've been searching everywhere for a used T4 that doesn't have such a big exhaust housing but can't seem to find one. what im really looking for is .70 or .60 compressor with a .60 or .57 trim and an exhaust housing less than .82, preferably .63. Now what im wondering if its possible to buy a t3/t4 and swap out the exhaust housing with a t4 housing, or will it not bolt up correctly. From what i know the t3/t4 is just a t4 compressor with a t3 exhaust housing as they call it a hybrid. So i figure you could just swap out the housings and should match up correctly right? or am i just totally off? thx!

A T3/T4 turbo is basically a T3 turbo with a T4 compressor wheel an housing slapped on. All the T4 housing will be too large for the T3 exhaust wheel on the turbo. No dice.

Someone on Ebay sells an adapter plate to bolt up a t3 to a t4 manifold or vice versa.... check it out.
