Is that one of those 4g32 factory turbo's i've heard rumors about?

The inlet manifold with the turbo logo and the weird turbo on there and the fact that everything looks factory apart from the pipe over the engine.

Unusual concept though, I spose in the early days they were trying new things without the technology required to do it properly.
