Is there any way of telling from a picture of the engine bay if an fd is a standard twin turbo or a single turbo conversion?

Thanks

twin turbo no room at all..single turbo slightly less clutter..only joking yes it will be very obvious

VERY obvious; if you can SEE the turbo its probably single :)

If theres two air induction cones = twin turbo

Single cone = single turbo

Usually?:)

easiest way to tell is to go out for a drive, the single will usually leave a residue in your underpants.
400 BHP - 650 KG\'s = 616 BHP Per Ton of Rotary Power

That\'s the way to do it! :Thumbsup!

If you can climb in and go to sleep its a single turbo.

If you can\'t fit a nats pube in the engine bay its a twin.

I have seen twins with an aftermarket airfilter which is one cone but two inlets.
