All I'm getting at is many of us are now using "stock" turbos that are modified: ported, 10.5 exhaust housing, 10.5ti, etc. As we now know, the 05s come with a 10.5 exhaust housing AND a different compressor that makes more power. It is impossible to tell if someone's 16g is truly stock unless you start yanking the heat shields and lower undertray, and still impossible to tell if it is ported unless you tear it apart. I'd like to know how others feel about listing ANY evo 16g as a stock evo turbo. If someone makes an incredible run on an untouched OEM turbo, they should point that out as a plus.
