Saab 92x aero 2.0T or 2.5T

Hi Everyone,

I am shopping for a 9-2x aero (Subaru WRX) and found one in my area that is confusingly described as a 2005 with a 2.5L turbo. All the info that I can dig up on the net indicate that the 2005 aeros are all 2.0l turbo engines. I am going to go look at the car and need to figure out how i can differentiate between the 2.0L and 2.5L to confirm that this car does indeed have the 2.5L engine.

Can anyone help?

Here is a link to the craigslist post

and here is the vin #

Even the online vin decoders report conflicting information in one place saying that it is a 2.0t and in another saying that it is the 2.5t.

Is there a way to visually differentiate the two when i am actually looking under the hood?

Thanks for your help.

In 2005 the Saab 9-2x had the 2.5L non turbo in Linear trim level and the 2.0L turbo in Aero. In 2006 the Aero went to the 2.5L turbo.
