Non-turbos do have something similiar on top of the IP, but it isn't the same thing really. You don't have the added intake from the turbo, which you compensate the fuel delivery for via the alda. You also don't have turbo lag, and have a lower rear end gear setup, so your acceleration off the line will actually be better up to about 30mph or so. Or it "should" be better off the line. My '80 sure was....

My old car has no tach either .

NOTE : NON turbo model I'm asking about here .
