Hi Dan, I called around a while back and spoke with various vendors about there turbos. Turbonetics was a little difficult to deal with in obtaining information until I managed o get past the sales drones and speak with a tech type.
From what I gathered, the stage 3 "Cheetah" is roughly equivalent to a TA-49. They don't recommend an upgraded converter but do recommend larger injectors. They no longer list a Stage 1 or 2. The Stage 4 is similar to a TE44 and the stage 5 is similar to the TA 60/60-1.
For in depth Turbonetics info I would highly recommend you contact Innovative Turbo and speak with Rick Head. He used to work for Turbonetics before spinning off and starting his own company. He's a knowledgeable guy and friendly.
Good luck,
Charles Brooks

I have a stage 5 (4" inlet 2 1/2" outlet, ballbearing center 82 a/r exhaust housing) The compressor wheel inducer dia. is 2.324" & the major dia. is 3.00" (60-1) the turbine wheel has 2.493" exducer dia. and 2.798 major dia.( ten blade wheel). I like this turbo ( up frob k.b. stage 3) for the street, it spools great! 4" mega hose to plastic 4-3 adaptor from woodworkers warehouse(cut the three off, mill it out till the MAF fits and silicone it together) and off you go.

Yes, I used 50# MSD inj. R.A. 93 chip. (stock block/ heads) Kennebell 208/208 cam, 70mm T.B./plenum, and Kennebell 9/11 converter. It worked great, on the street 19-20# boost, very little knock (2 degrees on the shift at the most). I still have it on my new set up. Being a ballbearing center, it spools great! (it would without the loose converter too) I got it from Jack C. I called him and ordered it, he found mine used (polished comp.hous., jet hot coated .82A/R exhast hous. (1100$)
