Default RE what Year

It's a '98 GLT, and the only reason i was doubting that it
had a turbo is....It's not really that quick. kinda sluggish. The
'pothead retard' that I bought it from took TERRIBLE care of it.
I mean the brake rotors had more defined ribs than some kid
from ethiopia....But I gottit for $600 cash and it's got brand new
tires on it.

Another way to tell if it is a N.A. or a Turbo is by the pipe going over the engine.

N.A:
Even though this is a Volvo 850 for the N/A picture. It still makes my point.

Turbo:
You see the black pipe that is going over the engine.
