were there different "turbo" designations for different year MKIVs?

I'm just wondering because most (okay 2) of the turbo Supras that I've seen have the script "turbo" written after the "Supra".

However, a couple of days ago I saw a black MKIV that had "turbo" written inside a little box like thing, and underneath "Supra"... it looked factory-like too.

So the question stands as above in the title.

93.5-96 used "supra" script only on deck lid.
97-98 used "supra turbo" script on deck lid.

As for the other emblem style non -toyota that I know of.

I have had 5 TT Supras, I currently have 3.. all are 94's and all have the little suare turbo decal on the left side if the hatch below SUPRA. I don't belive these stickers were applied by the owners, there's just too many of them out there. My friend Dave bought his brand new in 94 and his came that way.

My 94 is stock and did not come with that sticker. Only 'Supra'

...I have seen another 93 TT (Baltic Blue) with that sticker though... I wonder if it was a dealer add-on?

Yah maybe the dealers slapped them on to sell more turbo models.

Yeah, while we're on the subject, I noticed a red Supra in the Providence Hopspital (Washington, D.C.) with a "turbo" script in dark (anthracite?) letters. Dig this! It wears 16" wheels! Anybody here on the forum?

16" Wheels? Sorry, not likely a turbo, but if it is... the owner should be shot. Maybe they should be shot either way.

16" wheels only came on the N/A model. The turbo came with 17s.

The 16" wheels won't fit over the TT rotors.
