Question How strong are the internals?

Im buying a EJ20TT motor and I would like to know how much power and boost the stock sub assembly can handle.

I know that some of the 2 litre motors came with forged internals as stock. Is this one of them? I dont know which year this motor was made in unfortunately.

Is there a way I can identify if the motor has forged internals or not without opening it?

Thanks

Its an imported motor so I dont know which model it comes from.
Any ideas on potential power without replacing internals?
