you can get specs of the turbo on the Garrett website.
Seeing that the turbo comp housing has been modified,it may be a little hard to just identify it by the looks,so you may have to take it apart and compare the wheel sizes to the turbos that Garrett manufactures.
Garrett does put an ID mark/tag on the CHRA so if you don't have one,your turbo could just be a knockoff.
I'm in the same boat right now and found that the CHRA I have is "Chinese".It will be Canadian after I get the Bill from the Rebuilder though..lol!

I dont think its a knock off, the guy I bought this from did not spare any expense on any parts so I doubt he would have on something as important as the turbo. At some point I'll pull the turbo out and measure everything. I was hoping someone would know it looking at it and the markings! :-)
