The only silly question is one not asked (or about fitting cow horns but thats a whole other story lol).

As aza said it is a turbo fto engine. As for being able to tell whether it is a turbo or not is in actual fact the piping itself. If you look at the pod filter and follow that you will see that it does not go straight to the throttle like a NA setup. Also the piping from the throttle body goes to the front of the car suggesting that it may be going to an intercooler.

Now I keep flicking back and fourth from Ben's pic to mine......FML!!! :cry:

Them lights have been baked too many times to go back in to the oven, I don't think they'd survive.

I'll keep, but you'll get a weird methoey-twiglet smell through out your house.
