You mean the restrictor fitted? I beleive this will be because the original compressor housing are rare and rather than scrapping one the turbo company will often bore them out and sleeve them
The first day I haven't taken my cossie to work in two weeks! Otherwise I could've nipped out and checked mine for you, I'm sure there's a boffin (or two) on here that could tell you straight off the bat though.
I personal,y think it looks right, it has the same comp housing as my t4 so nothing to worry about IMO. Get it sent to cr turbos to have them tell you for sure

If I'm being honest, yours does look moody / Chinese compared to the genuine ones shown in the thread. I am not knocking your turbo and I do not profess to be a T4 guru but your one looks totally different and in my eyes sub standard on the compressor casting.
I hope I am wrong and you have ended up with a real bargain
