Does it actually have a turbo? that would be a major clue...

the 95 in the VIN suggests that at one point in its life, it did have a turbo.

turbo roadman,

if it has a boost guage it is probably a turbo, but you have to watch out for Rennlisters who might have put in a lincoln Mark V v8, a VW diesel, or an audi 5 in.............there are crazies out there.

Guys...I know it's all in good fun, but do give the guy a break. He's only posted 3 times. He probably does not know a lot about our cars, but I'll bet he's willing to learn. So just give him some slack...until he asks if can turbo his N/A!

look at the guage cluster. theres a BAR meter there Goes from 0-1-2. (boost gauge) Right in the center bottom. That should point directly at turbo.

Unless some one has put a turbo cluster in a NA car...then things get real fun!

You like wiring?
