Dunno.... but from this angle, those could be sewer-lids.... BTW, take a peek at the VIN - it may help make sure that they are Turbo'S. And is there ANY plaid carpet pieces in there?

If it is an '88, it could either be an "S" or not. The "S" badge means nothing. The VIN will not help too much unless you contact Porsche, but the engine VIN # will help. Also, you can check the label under the carpet near the spare tire and jack. If the engine type is 52, and the transmission code is AOR you have a winner.
The standard turbo has engine type 51 and transmission type of either 5P or 5R from what i have seen. 5P is open differential, 5R is LSD with cooling loop and usually has the cup disc too.

The VIN won't positively identify an "S" -- unless the car happens to be one already in the TurboS Registry. But it will negatively rule out the non-'S'. You can tell the year it was built -- and how late in the production (if the last 4 digits are below 1000, it not an 'S').
And you can see the VIN from outside the car without having to wait for the gas-station owner to let you take a closer look.
