hi mate,,,if it is an c20let block it will have the turbo oil return pipe,,,,which will be at the bottom right of the block on the exhaust side,it sticks out at an right angle to the block you cant miss it,,,just above where the sum bolts on,,,it could however be a converted c20xe lump,,,,,,check the serial number on the outer edge of the block where it bolts on to the gearbox bellhousing,,,,,,if its a pukka turbo lump its should start with c2olet,hope this helps,,,,,

Cheers mate that will do rightly! Il check it mon. Would it be any stronger/better/quicker as a non turbo if it was a let ?

other way to check ,,,would be the oil pump,,,if its still on the engine,,,it will have to turbo oil feed outlet at the top of the oil pump,,,,,if its been running a turbo,,,,,,if thats not there chances are its been normaly assperated,,,,,,,,,,it will have different pistons in it (lower compression ones),,,,,if its been running a turbo aswell,,,,,,,best take the head off and check if your not sure mate
