Can you tell by looking at it tho, or do you need a standard one next to it to notice the difference ?

looked at the inlet trumpet and its bn machined out, plus the car pulls hard all through the rev range doesnt run out off puff say at 5000rpm, does the std turbo start too tail off about then? cant see the exhaust housing marks either? are they on the underside?
