The early ones had different main bearings. The gearbox has a bigger nose bearing on the input gear and had a 3.2:1 final drive. The clutch at that time, before the advent of the SPi, had the highest clamping pressure of all the Verto clutches for the A series. The turbo version was fitted with a water to oil cooler.

Is it A-Series only? I think it should be...
So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'...

The main difference is that a genuine turbo cyl head will have larger diameter exhaust valve stems.

Looking at the tops of the valves the difference is clearly visible between the inlet (smaller) and the exhaust (larger) valve stems.
