RE twin turbos vs REW twins?!

What is the difference between the 13b RE twin turbos and the 13b REW twin turbos? My twins on the fd are junk (of course) and I am wondering if a set of twins from an RE engine could be used? Any info appreciated thanks

i bought a pair of JDM RE twins and they only work with the JDM manifold. but i think the combo works together.

RE as in JC Cosmo turbos are smaller than FD turbos this was part of the reason JC Cosmos made less power even though they have larger ports. I cant quite remember if they will bolt up but regardless it will be a down grade

(i should point out i deal only with JDM cars so unless US spec turbos are different?)

I figured. Thanks guys. I wont bother with it. Well there is a set of twins f/s for an RE engine with no cracking or damage for $100 that I found if anybody needs them let me know I will give you the link. I am swaping a single turbo ported motor into my fd and I am going to take on swaping my fd's REW into a FC. (Im aware of the complications) I am looking for a good set of twins for the swap because I have two sets and they both have cracking. So, if anybody has a good set for cheap please let me know. Thanks

20B has one HT15 and one HT10
FC has HT18S-2S (twin scroll, a little different between series 4 and 5)
FB 12A turbo has plain old HT18, single scroll
