the car had the turbo when I got it. here is a note the seller to me provided. I don't know if I have any photo's prior to disassembly. I believe there will be some as I dig the pieces out of storage.
the set up was very simple and did appear to be well engineered as there were no wastegate or dump, had a slight lag, but nothing one couldn't work around for a good launch.
I might call the body shop at the address and see if they remember the first owner. (google implies he might have passed shortly after also at a young age)
