Is This a TurboII???

I'm new to the rotary community, and am very interested in getting into a TurboII, and I came across this on ebay. The seller says it's turbocharged, but i dont see an intercooler, intercooler hoses, or anything resembling a turbo setup, but i could just be too much of a newbie. I just want to find out and maybe let the seller know so he doesnt end up screwing someone over in the long run, or getting screwed over when they return it to him. Thanks for the help guys,

You are right I also did not see a turbo set up on the car. Seller knows nothing about his car!

Definately not a turbo. Its a GXL. They were the only cars with the Auto Adjusting Suspension. If you look at the shock towers under the hood, you will notice a wire harness going to each one. They go to the actuators on top of the shock absorbers.

$600 bucks is still pretty good deal for that GXL, just for the engine.

its been edited.

On Aug-01-03 at 06:33:17 PDT, seller added the following information:
This car is in fact a N/A car and NOT turbocharged. We apologize for the misinformation; we have been trying to revise the item for quite some time to no avail.

Didn't anyone else notice that there is no title. I would be a bit leary about it. No title just a bill of sale. Hrrmmmm.....

yeah, thats what i thought. i figured he would get some responses about it and change it. im about ten hours away from S.F. and i've been keeping my eyes and ears open about TII's. theres one on ebay inportland for really cheap, but its got a bad motor, and being a newbie to the rotary scene, i dont know if i want to get myself into that. i also need to replace the head gasket on my current POS Nissan 4x4 before i do anything about a 7. thanx everyone...
