    Default VL identify

    How do you tell if a VL is a turbo or not? There's a nice one for sale on my street, it's an exec, but dunno if it's turbo. Cheers

    Ummm.. Open the bonnet and check engine bay for a turbo? It's for sale, so im sure the seller's willing to let you see the car.

    Thanks. I was wondering mostly if there was an exterior thing like badging or whatever.
    Cheers

    There's a Turbo badge on the rear of Turbo's, on the boot.




    Also look in the window for an aftermarket turbo gauge, or look under the front bumper for an intercooler, that's if he's put a good cooler in etc.

    look under the bonnet to SEE A TURBO and look at the build plate and write the numbers down and the "eng type" to see if it is factory.
    post the build plate numbers and someone will help you!

    Unless he's de-badged it, then you'll have to have a look or just ask him/her/them
