The easiest way to tell, without looking at any casting numbers, is to just look at the passenger side (exhaust side) of the block and see if the turbo oil drain hole is there or not.

Be sure to inspect the head for cracks aropund the valve seats. A N/A head can be used if the chamber is opened up some.
