Default #8 hotside? help please

So i want to buy an M tune. I was going to instal a bigger turbo but i have decided against it and would rather sell this turbo and use the cash towards an Mtune. I just need to know if its a 6 or 8 hotside. I've looked through lots of old threads but the pics with measurements are no longer availiable. I just need a pic showing the differences with measurements. Thanks guys. It does NOT have the flat spot on it but im not sure if that rules out a #6 indefiniatly. Would like the measurements to confirm.

Hey Mike, IIRC it was a k27/6...if you're looking to sell it, I'd be interested in buying it back

Hey buddy. I have that one on the car. This one is a bit bigger cold side. And i need to do these measurements but i believe it may be the #8 just not sure yet. I'll sell this one, I just really don't want to go through all this work again to instal it lol. I'd rather opt for the M tune. Number is 416-575-4548 if you want to text me

yea no flat spot is a 8, if you have a 6 and 8 next to each other you can also see that the exhaust turbine housing is different, Turbo on the right is a 8
