my next turbo setup hopfully

i have a perfect opertunity to get my hands on a 56 trim turbo. the only bad side is that the oil seal on the back side of the turbo went out.
what i was thinking of doing is taking the compressor housing off of it and throwing it on my s5 turbo. is it possible?
what do you guys think?
