I see the protrusion being the easiest to check, getting someone to check an MWE, yea right.
A boooshing is even easier to check than po-trusion... oke:

A boooshing is probably the only thing we stand a chance on getting changed. I would like to see no MWE modifications and no additional opening in front of the compressor wheel.
I agree Dan but I just don't see that change happening.
The boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooshing is easier to check, but who can prove if it is an OEM MWE or not?
The reason for the protrusion is it will impact the HP some, over a wheel with no protrusion.
Screw protrusion. Just put the boooshing ID at 2.600" this year, 2.550" next year, etc., costs everyone $50 a year to be legal.
I personally have not seen a stock MWE over approximately 0.125" but I have not seen every dang turbo in the world either. Like I said before there is no universal dimension for it so teching it as "stock" is fruitless.
I think the only way to quickly check the MWE is with a piece of wire/rod of the same diameter, bent at a couple angles to see if it'll slide in. If you're not pulling the cover, this would never work, as folks would be rightfully very reluctant to let some yahoo go fishing with a poker right next to the wheel.

No MWE in front of the compressor wheel eliminates both the race cover for the S300 and S400. 40hp on a clipped 2.6" wheel, difference was protrusion.
Agreed, but a .250 MWE is a little ridiculous.
40hp/800hp = 5%.
If it was still a full wheel, with a bushing, I can assure you it would be much more than 40hp, that is the problem with bushings.
