Should just say 1596cc as it's only the capacity they are interested in.

1596 is correct but 1.6 is near enough, its simply for taxing purposes as stated above

it won`t say turbo ,

Shouldn't come back as anything other than a Bonus. Doesn't matter what you stick under the bonnet
it can and only ever will be a Bonus.
