Identifying trims through VIN

Is it possible to know what trim an FC is by seeing something in the VIN? If so, I'd like to know, specifically what to look for to ID a turbo II. Thanks in advance.

I apologize if this has been covered, I may have missed it somehow in my searches for info.

you might find some info in the sticky topics at the top... not sure tho... otherwise get the mazda shop manual because it tells in there somewhere
iluvmyrx7.com is a good place to get one of those for free hehe

I'll have to take another look at the FAQ, make sure I didn't miss it, but I don't believe it has any info there.

Thanks for the reply powrdby13b

Good call on the shop manual though, I'll check that out. Anyone have an easy answer meanwhile?

go to mazdausa.com and enter your vin in my mazda.
I found out my FD was a PEP by doing that, but my FC had "unkwon trim level" or soemthing.
