Turbo??

I know this might be a stupid question but I'm just wondering how would I know whether my RX7 is turbo or not. I'm pretty sure it's not....but just wanted to make sure.

Look for the intercooler at the top... or the big snail shell on the passenger side in the engine bay... its pretty easy... just look at some pictures here.

hehe, look at your dash, at the 4 guages on the left hand side, check if the bottom left one (pretty sure its bottom left..) is a boost guage or a voltemetre, boost guage = turbo, voltemetre = n/a

Yo, if your car goes really fast, than you might have a turbo.

Does the car make you say "OH ****"?
If it does, it's a turbo.

If you're thinking "is it all that its got"?
It's most likely a non-turbo.
