Default Who knows their turbo's?

Ok we all know that K03 = small, K04 = bigger, T28 = Large, but how do these turbo's compare to a 14B or 16G or a T25 commonly found on DSM cars. Would housings on these turbo's even be a fit on our cars or vise versa? I ask because my brother's 92 Talon needs a turbo and I'm thinking of moving up to a K04 and on a whim wondered if my K03 would work as a substitute on his car?...or if there were other turbo's that could convert to our cars...probably not without substancial tuning I'd assume, but there's no harm in asking right???..please no flames here I realize that adapting one of these other turbo's to our car requires substancial chip tuning to make it right and would not be worth the effort...but would really like to know if the K03 could go on his car
