Just what kind of Turbo do I have? Turbo or Turbo S?

If nothing else, you could PM me your VIN and I could check for you on monday.
FWIW, the block code I read was about 8-10 inches down, on the passenger side, next to the firewall. Directly below the header.
I'll document with pics as soon as I get moved into the house and my stuff is out of storage. Until then I'm afraid text descriptions will have to do.
FSAEracer03, I'll PM the VIN to you.
