Default Does this comp. inducer measure stock?

Recently picked up a '07. The car has a few interesting mods. Was wondering if anyone knew the history or could explain some of the details. Here's a link with details from a previous sale:

I had a brief conversation with dyno-comp. Plan to take the car over there and see what they remember about it.








Thanks

Made me laugh! The lower plane is missing due to some previous unplanned off-roading.

Was looking forward to making a new plane. But what material? Fiberglass, Aluminum, Cherrywood, Lexan?

Does anyone know details of what the previous owner is describing here?

"The turbos were removed and sent to RPS in Germany to be reworked, which is the same company who builds the turbos for Porsche. They are now charging 8500 PER turbo because of the exchange rate. "

I'm not seeing any tags on the turbos. Will have to clean them up.

It might have been internal changes done to the turbos, with the stock housing, however, I am not sure.

Does the compressor inducer bore look stock at 46.5mm?

I borrowed some specs from another thread:

Stock Turbos
Exducer Size - 60mm
Inducer Size - 43.8mm
Bore - 45

Champion Motorsport Generation 1 VTG Turbos
Exducer Size - 63.5
Inducer Size - 45.8
Bore - 46.7
