B202i 130 bhp B202S 150 bhp turbo (LPT) B202 160 to 175 bhp turbo B234L 200 bhp turbo B234R 225 bhp turbo Your car may be an LPT, then it doesn't need a turbo gauge. The engine has various control systems to prevent damage. Although the B202S is regarded as an LPT, it wasn't named as such. The log book for my car describes it as CSE turbo. The LPT concept for the 9000 was introduced from 1994 as 'ECO' engines. At that time, insurance companies (UK) didn't like anything with 'turbo', so it was perhaps practical to drop the 'turbo' name.
