How about that Alan... LOL
Yes it is possible that it will work. It is somewhat of a "downgrade", however because it has the smaller compressor it will be less efficient than a stock turbo's compressor housing. But for $100 including the pedestal you can try it. It will look really funny.
But for DPwilson that is a good upgrade, you won't have to change anything around.

Hmmm....a 99 van turbo. I think I've seen one too. 
I would think you would be able to use the compressor housing and backplate from the newer turbo without any problems. I doubt the center section design changed at all.

Oh for that, you mean. Pull the 5 bolts holding the compressor housing on. Using a 5/8 socket and holding the turbine end nub firmly with a vise grip pliers, remove the compressor wheel. Then there are 4 bolts behind that, same as the compressor housing bolts. Then the backplate just wiggles off and there is a X shaped seal. want pictures?
