I have tried using Google, to no avail, to determine if this information can identify whether or not I have a stock turbo. Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance!

Pics are so small. I can't even see what it is.

 

Um, whatever that is, it doesn't look like a turbo. Im looking at your other pics. The turbo is located on the left hand side of the polished silver charge pipe in your picture.

I can't tell in that pic if it's stock, so get us a picture of the turbo behind the engine.

95% of the time it's a stock turbo.

 

Ok, thanks for the responses. I thought the big TURBO STICKER with the numbers might help. I will try to get other pics when I get back from work later.

Thanks again!

 

ya your turbo is mounted to you exhaust manifold

 

That's your abs pump dummy.

 

hhahahah

 

 

You beat me to it. I thought maybe he just linked the wrong pic originally

OP open your hood and follow your intake back your intake will feed your turbo the air it craves

 

looks like s256et to me

 

he even has a turbo abs system! nice!

 

I was wondering what that was lol don't remember any black plastic cylinder on or near the turbo. Op just take a pic of behind the engine from the top possibly take office air intake and take a pic of the front of turbo to

 

Heat shield on exhaust says it's a stocker. Unless it's a big wheels which we would never know anyway.

 

Ok, thanks again for the responses.

If I pull the sensor out of the intake, can I tell if it has been upgraded by looking at it?

I am thinking of pulling the trigger on a ZZP tune and have no idea what sensor I have, turbo, etc. I think it's all stock except for the intake pipes, but can't be sure, thus all the questions. Looking under the car seems like everything is stock, but not sure if I have the 3 bar sensor upgrade or not.

 

Normally I'd say take a pic of the map sensor as it sits mounted in the manifold so we could tell you which set you have, but at this rate we'd likely end up with a pic of your GPS because it says "map" on it somewhere.

 

the brutality


Looking through his gallery, there is a picture of the engine bay and it looks like the stock sensor on the manifold.

Dear OP,
Stock sensor has two bolts, 3 bar has one (and blue sticker).

 

Quoted for awesomeness

 

Ahhh hahahahaha. So mean but so funny.

Sorry op but u walked into this one. Glad ur here, good place to learn
