marked in yellow the airlines and blue is the turbos?
Yellow are the air intake tubes to the turbos, the turbos are at the end of those tubes, bolted to the exhaust manifolds. The top blue squiggle is the air filter box, the bottom squiggle is nothing related (ABS pump), the drivers side turbo is behind where the tube ends.
Point is, the no turbo V6 will not have any of that plumbing you highlighted. It will have one air tube going from the air filter box to the throttle body on top of the engine.
I'm kinda curious now. My $$ is the sales person didn't know what they were talking about and it's a non-turbo 3.5.
I ended up buying a different truck. but...the last message I got from the salesman was "sir, I know what a turbo charged engine looks like, you can come and look for yourself. the engine in this truck is turbo charged"
he seems pretty confident, so I guess we will probably never know.
