If it's an auto and has a turbo it's an IDI turbo.
Been there, done that.
Found a truck for the right price, was a '94 and was told it's a Power Stroke. I said you sure? He says yeah, why?
I drive 1 hr to look see and it's a turbo IDI. He still says it's a Power Stroke cuz it has a turbo and IDI didn't come with a turbo.
In '94 you could get an IDI, then a turbo IDI part way through the year, and finally a Power Stroke.

I should know this stuff, but I've been looking for a OBS 7.3L but also want the DI so I guess just so I dont screw around I'll look for a 95-97 and by pass the 94's.
