Nope. But things like oil drain into sump, turbo coolant lines from the thermostat housing and water pump pipe, and camshaft codes would show if turbo or not.

You can pull a spark plug out, shine a pen light in the cylinder and read the code on the pistons. Non turbo are 63d, and turbo are 63d with a huge t, 63dT.

Or you can just use a bore scope with built in light. That'll allow you to get all up in that cylinder.
