Turbo chargers have a hot side (the turbine side) which is driven by the exhaust gas as mentioned above. The backside of a turbo is usually mild steel so it discolours very quickly or is wrapped in a heat shielding/ blanket. A cebtri blower generally is not. So at a glance, look for a belt or a heat bag/ discoloured turbine housing.
