Question Stupid Question reguarding my new fc

I just bought a 91 FC. the engine, transmission, and exhaust were all installed about 2 owners back, 30k miles ago. how do i know if my fc is turbo or not? it has the non-Turbo hood, a dash red line of 7-8k rpm.

look under the hood. If there is a turbo connected to the exhaust manifold, then it's a turbo. Another way to tell is by looking at the intake manifolds.

Chances are that it isnt because if it has an n/a hood it would probably have to run a FMIC.

From what I remember n/a intake has the throttle body facing the passenger side, where as turbo is pointing toward the driver side.

There are no stupid questions. Only stupid people.

One of my teachers in high school used to say that. I guess I never really thought about what it meant but now I'd be upset if someone told me that.

Yea, my dad always told me that. He said that if you ask a stupid question some jackass will always be there to give you a smart *** answer.

Oh, I wasn't trying to flame the OP or anything, just making light of it is all.
