Bonnet vents are a big give away...Followed by 1 has a turbo and the other doesnt.

if its been an xr3i that someones converted properly into a turbo then not a lot,the logbook possibly,maybe some black paint round the rear 1/4 windows.apart from that the shells are identical,inside all that would need changed to be a turbo are the front seats,outside just the bonnet and sideskirts/arches.
