how do you tell the difference between a turbo and non-turbo CA18 gearbox?

also how about the same thing with the flywheels?

cheers guys

Flywheels-maybe diameter or weight

Gearbox-if the gear ratios are different, then start cranking the input shaft and counting the rotation of the output shaft and figure out which one it is

Not sure if that helps any, as it is rather generalized but its all i can add.
