I know this seems like a dumb question, but I can’t visually see the turbo.
I do see what looks to be a BOV.
It’s a 2017 civic sport.
It does have a earthdreams turbo badge on the block.

I can sort of understand not knowing all the specs of your car's engine. But not knowing what engine you have is kind of shocking.

And yes, you have a 1.5 turbo.

You can't really see it cause the turbine housing is tucked under the factory heat shield. And the compressor is kinda covered by the inlet tube.

But you do In fact have a turbo. If your curios what it looks like

This isn't a good rule. The Sport, Sport Touring, Si, and Type R all have turbos and don't have 2 exhaust outlets.
If you look under it, you will see 2 pipes. Type r has 3.

You also change the infotainment to the turbo gauge.

Was the aforementioned turbo decal on the engine not enough? Or maybe the window sticker you got at the dealership that lists the equipment?
