Default CAEB to CPMB swap questions

I have a 2012 Q5 CAEB engine that burns a quart every 300 miles. Its time either do new pistons or swap the motor to a CPMB. The big question I have is about the turbo. I have a low turbo boast code so I think the turbo is going. Does the turbo from the CPMB motor swap into my 2012 Q5? I have read several threads where the original turbo from the CAEB engine was used, but nothing about using the CPMB turbo. Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Thanks. I had gone through that thread. The OP says he used the factory turbo as the donor motor did not have one. I have yet to find someone who has used the donor turbo.
