Post a pick. I'm sure I'm not the only one that doesn't click out of the way links with foreign names.

either a hack....or someone dropped a non-turbo engine into the car (after a possible death) and changed the rear logo...

Did you PM the guy and ask? I'd be curious to hear the answer...

Also $42K is a little high for that car

Whatever it cost him to do that "mod", he just devalued his car by a factor of x10.

Trying to make an excuse, maybe it helps prevent sucking lots of water when speeding in rain. I think I just got a CEL light speed boating to work this weekend. Got back in the car last night to go for some team building beers then home and I notice the CEL. I start thinking the light must be wrong. Then I remember tons of water in the dark that morning while sensining out the handling. When I get off my butt the durametric better tell me whats up. I figure the MAF got a treatment. Coil packs weren't cracked 5k miles ago. Anyway nothing visible when checking under the lid.

Those are aftermarket Turbo replica scoops, basically fake scoops molded onto the quarter panels. No big mystery there.
