Hi, I don't want to sound stupid but prob will , I have a 2007 2.0 d4d Corrolla sr and I have been reading up on them and some sites say it comes standard with a turbo but I'm 99% sure it doesn't can anyone help ??

Most diesels come with turbo's

if this is your engine

the turbo is at the back near the bulkhead

follow the pipe that comes from the airbox and it will lead you to the turbo.

if your engine never had a turbo it would flat as a fart.

Ok I'm really embarrassed now . Had my car a year and I like to think of myself as quite a car but. But the garage, salesman, manual and mot certificate . Nothing mentioned about a turbo now that I've actually looked and can see it clearly . Thanks for the help guys .

No problem look after that engine and it will go forever!

Not only does it have a turbo, it has a variable turbo! :D

[funkyd4dSR]

Yeah I know what that is, is that why it doesn't have a waste gate? Doesn't have a turbo whine ?

Well diesels generally don't need waste gates anyway since they can handle unlimited boost, but you're right - the variable turbo makes that even more redundant.

Not sure about the turbo whine, I think it's just the way the system is designed.

When I bought this Yaris, it had a very noticeable turbo sound, and I later discovered this was because some numpty had put the air filter on upside down and there was a gap!

Now that it's in properly, the turbo sound is virtually inaudible :(
