I was looking to replace the 17/22 I brought from the US with a GT1749VB but the old 17/22 compressor housing is VNT22 like on VW T4, so my existing custom hoses don't match up. Would it be ok to just put the VNT22 compressor housing on a new GT1749VB or is it a problem that it is bigger? Thanks in adavance!

It isn't just the housing as you would need to change the impeller as well, right?
In which case you won't be able to balance the rotating assembly on your own.
