K27 turbo, possible to visually determine if 7006 or 7200 compressor wheel? (pics)

I was wondering if there is any way to look at the compressor wheel on a K27 to determine if its a 7006 or 7200 wheel?

I have a K27/6 with a 7006 part # which i am planning on putting on my 951. I am fairly certain the turbo has the 7006 wheel which as i understand it is not ideal for quick spool, especially with my 2.5L 951. I contacted Turbo Performance out in California and they said they can purchase the 7200 compressor wheel, install then balance the entire turbo..effectivley making it a K27/6 7200 for about $300. I just wanted to verify before sending the turbo out that its indeed a 7006 wheel on the inside.

I figure you 930 guys will be the most educated on these K27's.

I am taking a wild guess that if the tag says 7006 then it is a 7006. Ask Kevin at Ultimate Motorwerks, he does rebuilds and also makes the HFS, so he is familiar with these turbos.

I'm looking at one of those on my bench right now, it is a 7006 compressor wheel

Thanks for the verification guys, thats what i figured. Now im wondering, is it possible to put a 7200 compressor wheel into this turbo? Will it fit with the current compressor cover i have?

Again call Kevin at Ultimate Motorwerks, he has or had a few freshly rebuilt 7200 for $795 awhile back, I bought one as a spare.
