Compare it to your stock turbo. The 80mm compressor housing is NOTICEABLY larger than your IX turbo. If it is not, you have standard FPRed.

Whip out your *****, the opening should be bigger then it. The stock one is about the size of your current one.

Common now give me a break, did you goto school? Ever heard of a ruler!

You don't need to measure anything, you can tell from across the room whether it's got the 80mm cover or not.

Standard IX comp. housing:


80mm FP cast housing (note FP stamp and larger surge ported inlet):
