Are these just stock lx's with turboengines put in them? Or were they actually built with turbos in them? Cause I thought that the SVO's were the only 2.3 turbos.

The 2.3 Turbo motors came in Thunderbird Turbo Coupes from 83-88 (not just an lx with a different motor either...suspension, rear, luxury items, etc. were all updated). They also came in 85-89 Merkur XR4Ti's, Cougars, GT Turbos, SVO's, 25th Anny's, etc.
