Default What kind of turbo is this ?

Please look at this craigslist posting. I don't know what that thing is attached to the exhaust manifold but there's an inter-cooler and blow off valve hooked up .

Yea im curious as well. I have no idea. Judging by his use of wire loom, the breather on the valve cover hanging by a wire tie on the firewall, disconnected charge pipes, this kid has no idea what he was doing. I feel bad for that car. Poor thing

Im ironically really interested in knowing what the hell it is. It could be on of those stupid electrical supercharger things...It looks like there are alot of wires going to it. but it looks like there is a oil feed though so im confused, and there are springs holding that thing together. Im stumped, but really intrigued.

and whats up with the coiled copper lines going into the fuel rail....What the hell is this thing lol. Are these things functional or display only as a joke.

It looks like its just sitting there on top not connected to anything.
His charge piping isn't even connected to the t\b.
Its probably not even running.
