Default Viability of sharing a turbine between 2 models..

Title pretty much says it all, how viable is it to share a turbine between 2 different models. I currently have a Jetcat P140rx and a Kingtech 140G. I recently ordered a Sebart Avanti with the 140 sized thrust tube option. I fly my jets mainly at Jet rallies and I don't think I'm likely to fly all 3 models the same weekend so I was considering simply buying a new ECU, fuel pump and wiring harness for the Avanti and swapping a turbine out of one of the other jets. It seems that will probably cost about $700 for the ECU, etc which is about 1/3 the cost of new Kingtech 140G. Is swapping these things around really as simple as removing 4 mounting bolts and swapping over the electrical cables and fuel line or am I asking for issues that I simply haven't thought of yet?
