Question 6 port JDM Turbo?!?

-WTF?!? Was my first impression. According to a friend of mine, he met some guy that's selling a turbo II, who swears up and down he did a 6 port JDM turbo swap. I don't even feel the need to search because all stock turbo motors are 4 port, and all JDM motors are turbo 4 port. So there is no way in hell the guy could have a JDM 6 port turbo motor. But, I could be wrong... so I figured I'd ask you guys if there is a such thing. So... what's the verdict. (BTW I'm going to print out this thread so I can show it to my friend.)

Doesn't exist.

Maybe the turbo itself is JDM?

or maybe he bought a motor off some Japanese guy that was bored of his JDM motor and wanted to be unique so he imported a 6 port motor and frankensteined it into a turbo using his JDM skills. Got bored of it, sold the motor and it ended up in the U.S.

I heard the JDM ppl are all about USDM.

Sounds to me like he replaced his 6 port engine with a 4 port turbo there, chief.

Only if it has adapters, block off plates, and such. Not everything lines up on a six port the way it does on a four. Bottom line hes full of ****.
