It's very unlikely you have a turbo. That said, let's see an engine bay pic just to be sure.

Send us a picture of what your exhaust manifold look like, we will be able to instantly tell whether you have a turbo or not.

The Exhaust manifolds are on the passenger side of the car. You will probably need to stick your camera down there with a light to make sure you can capture the picture.

Well if the car is stock it definitely doesn't have a turbo.
