Car: 92 Eagle Talon
 
Tampa/Brandon
Panoi_Racer21 is an unknown quantity at this point: 10
New to TR old to the streets though

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

welcome to TR
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.
