So I ordered a new S362 up like I said in my project post. But I just wanted to clear up some mis-information that I had receieved, and shared in my first post. The "extended tip" on these turbo's is on the exducer. The tips extend over the backplate like seen in this picture. Not how tall they are, and it has nothing to do with being able to see the smaller blades from the inlet. That other turbo I had ended up being a Non-ET version.
Here's some other comparison pics and misc pics:
A standard non-ET compressor.
