If its got a standard ford lsd look through the hole where the drive shafts go, if you see a thick pin running diaganolly across then its not a turbo box. If you see a small round hole then its a got a lsd. Hope that makes some sense. either that or put a drive shadt in if you turn it one way the opposite side should turn the same way.
