Visual differences between 94 7.3L PS and IDI ?
I have a chance to buy and 94 7.3L with turbo but need to make sure its a IDI. What are the quick visual differences to look for?
Thanks for your quick response, as this engine is some distance from me and I only have some pictures to look at and determine if I want to buy it.

The second picture Joe linked (powerstroke) is missing the cover over the fuel filter in the center top of the engine. The oil fill cap in the center front on the idi is a dead giveaway, as seen in Joe's first pic.

8th digit of the VIN
F = DI turbo ( powerstroke )
K = IDI turbo
M = IDI non turbo
popping the hood to look is so old school lol.

Thanks for all the input. I do appreciate it greatly. Although the pictures I was provided show the engine out of the vehicle, and on its side I can see the oil filler cap in the center, as well as the last injector with return line and GP (?) I think.
I am taking it for IDI Turbo since one of the pictures shows the FORD Turbo on the housing.
Thanks, again for all the input.
