Can I interchange a turbonetics 5 bolt exhaust housing with a garret 4 bolt housing?

I currently have a t04e/t3 .57 trim .50 turbine housing with stage 3 .63 exhaust housing. I was just wondering if I unbolt the exhaust housing, and replace it with a garret 4 bolt, will it bolt up correctly?

Any input is greatly appreciated.

yes, it will bolt up exactly, as long as you have a stg3 wheel in it.
we have them on our site $159 shipped.
thanks

I thought the stage of the wheel was judged by the size of the exducer and the major? since stage 3 is the biggest, then why wouldn't the other stage bolt up too?

The turbine housings are machined to fit the turbine. A Stage III turbine will not fit into a smaller stage turbine housing.

exactly, so if a garret 4 bolt will fit the larger stage 3, then it should fit the smaller stage 2 or normal, shouldn't it? Sorry, but I think I am confused.
