89 turbo. Orig emblem.

[sgtsandman]

The original post said 2.9. The picture shows a 2.3. Typo in the original post? Turbocharged 2.3's is a real thing for sure. Ford used them in a car but the model escapes me at the moment. The Thunderbird?

5 is the original fender emblems for '89-05 and 6 for 96-05 but can be used on 89-05 models according to LMC Truck.

Couldn't remember what year they switched.

Fake news?

Poser stick on badge from Wally World or Parts store.

FWIW I don’t think anybody that actually has a turbo ever buys them.

The picture of the engine bay just showed the engine bay. Someone found the thing you posted. XR4Ti, that's a Mercur. They were a Ford product around that time.

I'm not even sure what this thread is about anymore. You own the truck but don't have your own pictures of it? And Its not factory at all... even a little bit. So what is the question here?

 

[Dirtman]

Nevermind, I'm gonna go eat a sub in the tailgate. Things make more sense in there.

Sorry to confuse. VIN says 2.9. So why the turbo emblem?
The emblem is my pic.
I am just baffled by the emblem.

That turbo emblem ia a cheap aftermarket addon people buy from isle 6 at autozone or ebay so they can stick it on their vehicle and pretend its something special. I could buy that same emblem and stick on my weedwacker if i wanted.

Just like thoae fake portholes and "limited edition" emblems....there just worthless add ons.
