Turbo vs. Non-Turbo have different hoods?

So yeah I'm still new to the Z scene (don't even have one yet), so this is probably a dumb question.

 

I was reading through some threads, and someone mentioned wanting someone else's "turbo hood". It struck me that I've seen some 280zx's without the little triangular hood air intake. This makes me beg the question: does the N/A hood not have it, and the turbo hood does? Or was he generalizing "turbo hood" to specify which car's hood he wanted?

79-81 non turbos have the twin black scoops.

 

81 turbo and all 82-83 have the turbo "NACA" hood scoops.

 

You should prolly read up on the history of the 280zx:
