GNTTYPE says that the compressor blades on the TA49 are all the same length, while the blades on the stocker are short/tall (alternating lengths). HTH
Take the inlet hose off and look into the bell. If the bell throat has a rough cast look to it (not machined or blended) but is slighlty larger than the turbo inlet, its a stock turbo.
A TA 49 needs the stock inlet bell machined, blended or otherwise opened (Or a billet bell installed) because of its larger inlet diameter is larger than the throat of the stock inlet bell.
