Just wondering how to tell if a IX turbo housing is actually an fp red? Just wondering what to look for?

 

The label... Besides that measuring the housing.

 

The compressor housing? I seen reds with IX housing

 

Like the blades? What size should the blades measure?

 

Post up some pics of the compressor inlet which will show us the compressor wheel inducer blade configuration. Ditto the turbine exducer or exit area.

I think that FP turbos have a small metal plate or tag on them that identifies them as being manufactured by FP. They used to stamp the initials "FP" into the aluminum comp housing casting, but I think that they no longer do that.
