How rare is a turbo in a vert in the US?

Hey yall wanted to know how rare a turbo is in a vert in the US is and how much it might be around say it has over 100,000 miles and pretty good condition. These were only made in Japan right, were they twin turbos or single turbos?

I believe your answer lies in the OTHER thread you made with this question.

The anwer is kind of conflicting though. One guy says all verts in Japan were made with a single turbo and the other guy says it is a turbo 2. Which is it? How much gas does the turbo eat up? How rare is it to find one in the US and how do you know it is a turbo?
Also if one did show up how much would i be expected on paying for one?

A turbo 2 is a single turbo. Turbo 2 is the model designation. Mazda called it a Turbo 2 because it was the second turbocharged rotary they made. It doesn't mean 2 turbos.

That caused confusion for a lot of buyers when they were new.

It will have a hood scoop.
But some people will put them on N/A cars. This is only stock.
Thats one major visual way from outside of the car.
