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.

She was super sober as evidenced by her eyes and driving.
Ah man, I missed the video. I planned to watch it later. Not seeing an "edited" note on the post, so I think the mods removed it. Bummer.
