They both should use the T31 Stage 3 turbine wheel. If the turbine housings have the same bolt pattern they should be interchangeable. Also, if they are Precision housings, they should have two part numbers on them.
THB3-31 = .63 A/R 3-bolt Buick housing
THB5-31 = .85 A/R 3-bolt Buick housing
The .85 THB5-31 housing is very VERY rare and not too many have ever been spec'd for these smaller turbos. Most people tend to upgrade the turbo vs swapping the housing on a TA-49. Although there has been some discussion on here recently where people were asking about hp increases.
