Can you post a pic of the exhaust side, where the down pipe bolts on?

I've never seen a 10 bladed compressor wheel in a kkk turbo. The wastegate is a fair bit off center. The compressor housing and actuator look genuine, allthough the casting marks look rough. It's probably a Chinese copy or a k03 that's been repaired with knock off parts. Whatever it is it isn't a genuine k03s.

The only way to find out would be to fit it mate! I spent a lot of time looking at Borg Warner turbo bits before building my own hybrid, I've never seen that pattern of compressor wheel.
