I assume it would be located somewhere in the vicinity of the intake and exhaust manifold. I certainly looked. There is also no badging on the car relating to "turbo".
OK, so no turbo. If what you have is the OM617 (the normally aspirated version), then that is a good thing too. The torque & hp are lower than the OM617a, but they are valued for their simplicity & reliability..
The OM617a is a completely different beast. Bolting a turbo onto an om617 will not an "a" make.
