So for insurance purposes if your car is LPT or Ecopower you have a turbo ... your next problem is to differentiate yours from the full turbo model so your premium does not go higher. My trick if they can't located my car is to ask them to tell me what models they see for my year + engine etc. Regards Charles -- Please remove _removeme_ to reply.
