For what it's worth, I was told that if the engine ECU's part number has
an 'M'-suffix (shown in VAG-COM or physically on the label), then it's
got the improved turbos too.  My car has the new style badge, 'M'-suffix
ECU, and is a 2001 model with a 10/00 build-date.  I think mine is one of
the first batch of the "2001.5"s.

My car is on the original turbo, now at 46K miles and the only ailment
is a sometimes-unresponsive sunroof switch.  Knock on wood for turbo
longevity.
