Can you visually tell the difference between N/A and turbo pressure plates?

From my searches I gathered the following:
1) the clutch disc is the same on all of the 4g63s
2) the turbo flywheel is different from the N/A (2 step vs flat) and there may be some possible differences in the AWD to FD in regards to the position of the starter ring placement

Now, I think the turbo vs N/A pressure plates are different. Can you visually tell them apart?

Got any measurements or other visual cues?



Background: I've got a clutch I'm about to put in my car and want to make sure it really is a turbo pressure plate. It looks brand new and the guy I got it from said it was a turbo clutch with about 1000miles on it (virtually zero wear on it).

Turbo pressure plates are much thicker thus the reason the flywheel is steped.
 
Good to hear. Thanks.:thumb:
The two I've got (the worn out one and the "new" one) both look virtually identical. I just wanted to make sure there wasn't a hidden type of difference like spring rates or something you can't see.
