Default Turbo Inspection

Was talking to my local mechanic and he told me he wouldnt be able to visually inspect the turbo to see if its a genuine BW. So im planning on taking it over to Blouch Turbo. My question is though: How hard is it to take apart the turbo to visually inspect the internals? Seeing how thats the only way to find out if its real or not. And seein how I'm taking it to Blouch, I'm sure they can "wham bam" it out in a few odd minutes (in ramen terms)

I don't think it should be that difficult, but I certainly have never done it before.

Take some pictures and post them here. I recently bought and returned a fake. I found out it was fake from a guy at BW I found on the internet.
