Default 1978 924 with a turbo??? Need advice/ help

Hey I just acquired a 78 924 for 400$ First is that a good buy almost everything original is there except the hood just needs reassembled? Next should I just part it out or is it a car I may want to restore? Financially speaking? Next it seems to have the original motor but I’m pretty sure it is turbocharged which isn’t stock for 78 right? Anyone ever seen or know anything about that I have numbers just let me know what info you need I’m just trying to find out more info about it. Please and thank you for your advice and answers in advance!

Do you have any photos?

It's not uncommon for 924's to be tinkered with, a know of a few supercharger and turbocharger builds from www.924board.org.

There was a few period aftermarket turbo kits for the 924 like the BAE kit, but it could just be all bespoke also.

A stock 924 engine bay looks like this:

and an after market supercharger build http://www.924board.org/viewtopic.ph...bfe1976423dfdb

I see that you are really curious about this $400 car. Pick a thread and post some photos.
