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.

are you asking if that is a Turbo II car or if the other owners put a turbo in it?

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.

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.
