Whats up everyone, My names Matt. I've lived here most of my life but I left for a couple of years to see what the Navy was like. When I first got back to Tampa I was drivin a Rally red 2001 Honda Civic EX, Superstreet edition. I got bored with it so I sold it and started on a new project car. I now drive a 1992 Eagle Talon. It's still a work in progress. I'm having a little engine trouble but it'snot damageing trouble. According to the VIN number it's a Tsi but I have yet to see the turbo on this thing. Anyways, I plan on making it a show car at first and then work on the engine. I figured out that the girls don't really care about the speed as long as they look good in it. Well, that's all for now. TTYL, 1.

:) Yeah just look up front in the engine compartment i believe the turbo is covered and the cover has a dont touch sign on it. IF you still cant tell does your car have a high pitch hum to it at high Rpms that would be a turbo. Just turn your radio down and listen you will be able to tell:)

I think you are thinking of a 2nd gen, this is a 1st gen which would have a 14b which is a decent sized turbo. But yea as he said look down under the exhaust manifold for it. It may have later had a nonturbo motor swapped in it though.
