Besides the stock and a TA49 turbo, what other turbos will fit under the stock heat shield without modification to the shield?
 
FWIW,
All of our Buick specific turbos are designed to work with the factory style heat shield and bracket.

The only two modifications needed are when you run a larger than stock downpipe, the side of the shield needs to be trimmed to fit the pipe. Also, the older style, Garrett dual ball bearing water cooled turbos, would require the heat shield to be notched in order to clear the back water line.

All of our 3-bolt turbine housing equipped, Buick specific turbos, come standard with this "dog eared" two bolt heat shield bracket.
As seen in this picture.

Hope this helps.
