Shine a flashlight near where the air from the air box goes into the turbo. It will be cast into the compressor housing.
It’s probably a borg warner and there will be a triangle with 3 K’s in it cast near where the compressed air comes out of the turbo.

the "garrett" letters cast on the GT15 is pretty large and easy to see, if you cannot see that you can assume its a K03. google "gt15 turbo" and you'll see the letters im talking about...
but why do you need to know? they are so close to identical that usually it really doesn't matter which you have. the only differences of note are the actuators not being the same and the oil feed unions being different threads.
