If it is a US version then I would say Yes it is a Turbo. You can tell by the VIN and also the plates on the Door post .

That chimes with a US version , easy way to tell is look under the hood and at the exhaust on the Pass side of vehiicle you will see an aluminum turbo right under the Breather kinda in front of it .

it looks pretty good

i wouldnt be surprised to see it go for $7,500.

that said, it also may be due for a head gasket pretty soon. and while it is off for that it might be good to do a valve job.

good luck.

That engine is sparkling clean


It makes me feel ashamed of that fact that I can't even put a quart of oil in my car without my hands turning black.
