pics - Stage II/III spotted on ebay - Road Island

Spotted this on ebay, but sounds like he just wants to show off his "work in progress" hoping some rich guy will buy it as well.

Looks like a Stage II motor & turbo setup for weekend draging, but he's planning a full Stage III setup. Can't tell if the engine was fully or partially built for high boost dragging by rotorsports racing. Tag says Road Island.

Doesn't look half bad. A new paint job would be a good idea. As for the modifications, it seems the seller focused more on mechanics than cosmetics.

A nice paint job doesn't make a car go fast.

not quite, he's upgraded the turbo wheel which can add 10-25+HP from what I've read. Still the OEM turbo's only good for 18PSI, but it may overheat at those boost levels.

No, in it he made a claim he had 326 hp before all the upgrades, on the stock turbo. Ya, my ***.
