Hey mate welcome.

Easy open up your bonnet and if the oil filer cap is on the left (drivers side) you have mivec. If it is on the right (passanger side) it is a non mivec.

Hope that helps

if its a manual GR all it takes is a CAI and free flowing exhaust and your with a standard mivec, go a little bit further with T.B/manifold upgrade and piggyback ecu you will be luaghing, turbo is expensive way, unless you can most of the work yourself but of course power will be much more

Im lead to believe that turboing the non-mivec model is easier than the mivec model.
