Anyone else have this "Turbo Diesel" plaque?

That fender emblem looks really familiar, but I can't place it. I think it's OE, just not from a GM truck.

Yep... Mid-'80s Jeep with Renault 2.1L turbodiesel.

So according to the folks thar took a look at there is no turbo, just someone stuck those on there. Either way they look neat!

They do!

But I'm still wondering where the turbo sound is coming from.

Most likely the air intake sucking in air is what the guy I talked to said
