I did also look under the hood but didnt really try to locate the turbo, I was so impressed with the way it drove I had nothing to question. You dont question something that you thought you knew to be a fact. I also see a guy drive by my work everday that has definately got a turbo on his because it whines and whoohes when he shifts. I just assumed he made it louder. I am still in shock
