Default Swapping turbine wheel

I currently have a p-trim turbine wheel in my ITS T76 and would like to upgrade to a higher flowing wheel. Is this a direct replacement part, i.e. can I simply take the current wheel out, purchase a new one, and replace, or must I replace the turbine housing as well?

The turbine wheel and the shaft are one piece, you would have to have it balanced.

Right, I meant the wheel and shaft, of course. I didn't know I needed to have it balanced.

it would prolly be easier to swap the housing
not sure what brand housings will swap with what
turbonetics P-trim turbine wheel is 2.542exducer dia. by 2.92 overall diameter
they make divided ,undivided and on-center housings that will work with it
the highest A/R T4 housings seem to be the tangential divided @ 1.52 A/R
without going to a T6 housing/wheel, and getting it rebalanced
