Found this car in PNW for sale.... Dinan turbo install w/intercooler.... dinan plate of install in engine compartment.
Anyone seen this car before or have any information?





I am purchasing this car, however it has sat for two years - runs great and has good power, however a little run down.

Thank you

Looks like it may have been a Dinan install at one point, but things like the AFM mounting and air filter tell me its been messed with since then.

Have you done a compression test? Whats the mileage?

No compression test yet - the car used to be super nice about 10 years ago, however the previous owner just drove the car.
I will still break the tires loose in second under accel... I like the car for the unique - ness of the turbo, however I may be stepping into a can of worms.
