Trolling ebay.....

And found this....

Nice looking second gen turbo. However, the engine shot has me scratching my head. Maybe the air filter was removed for clairity


Here is the link if you are so inclined to look at the auction

he is pretty confident...."This car was put together by a mechanic, not by a chop shop. It is mechanically sound, with no typical RX7 issues. "

open up any japanese magazine and 50% of the turbos have no air filter...sometimes just fine mesh wire over the turbo opening.

i'd be really skeptical about stuff other than air making its way in there...but oh well...guess its just more air flow

looks like a nice car though!

looks good to me, and well done too, I am sure a filter is kicking around somewhere
