It's pretty easy to tell... An upgraded CT wheel looks considerably larger than a stock CT wheel.

Which one of these does it look like?

only pictures i could find, my pc died on me and that has ALL of my pics. hope it helps. Main difference is in the angle of the compressor fins and the bore on the inlet, you'll notice the stock one has more of fillet angle allong the inside while the 57 trim has enough material removed to make the inlet more cylindrical in shape on the inside. Other than that i'd wait for MDC or someone to chime in.

ive never used the turbo or compared it side by side with a stock one, it has 6 blades though. it seems to have more angle on the blades like the second one in grimjacks photo
