Arrow Swapping compressor housings?

Ok this may seem silly but Ive never taken a turbo apart before. How hard is it to swap the compressor housings between 2 turbos and would I have to swap the compressor wheel too (which would mean balancing.

The reason I ask is because someone just sold me a BNR turbo with a bad oil seal for a good price. He tells me I can just swap the compressor housing onto my stock s5 turbo, but it seems too easy. Thanks in advance for the help.

Thanks for the reply, will swapping the housing alone make any difference in peformance?
