Default GT4708 compressor trims

Hi I picked up a gt47 recently and measured up the wheels to identify it and noticed the comp wheel specs are 76mm inducer and 108mm, think its a 49 trim rather than the 80mm inducer which seems more common. Question is how does the 49 trim behave compared to the 80mm inducer since they both have a 108mm comp exducer? A bit less power, bit slower spool? or other way around etc. The hot side is standard gt4708. Thanks in advance.

Less power, but may spool a touch quicker. The wheel is a little less efficient as well.
