go to a turbo specialist!!
its possible i suppose. as long as the shafts are compatible.. a bb center section will run u upwards of 1k though. not worth it!

Depends on which turbo. But a turbo specialist will have to do it. NOT CHEAP.

no you cannot.......the housing is much bigger in the middle on the bb type so your short answer is no........plus you try pulling apart a bb turbo..bawahahahaha good luck.

anyway just say you had a t28....the money would be better spent on a good custom dump pipe or better intercooler piping.anyways a bb t28 would cost about $1900 brand new.
its a center section, and housing are the same across BB and non BB turbos. center sections cant be rebuilt.

take new center section, pop on old compressor and exhaust housings... voila!
about as close as you're going to get to converting
