TA49 Turbo Question

[BMFBUICK]

I have a turbo I bought years ago. I was told it was a TA49 at the time. But now I think it is just a stock turbo with a TA49 (58mm) compressor wheel with a polished TA49 compressor housing because the turbine side is the same as a stock turbo. Except for a .965 wastegate hole. Would it be worth sending it to precision to do the turbine side of should I just buy a new turbo. I still have a stock torque converter.

There are many 49's out there that have a machined stock Garret housing on them. Matter of fact I prefer them.

I THINK ONE HAS MORE BLADES THAN THE OTHER THE TA49 HAS SEVEN AND THE STOCK HAS 6
