It would be interesting to look that thing over a bit closer. If the kid with the spray bomb has only had it for a little while, maybe a new hood and some paint remover is all thats needed to turn it back into a decent car.

The 1/2 turbo must be just stuck on with sheet metal screws and bubblegum, unless hes so comletely stupid he plumbed the exhaust in and the air intake out.

OTOH, he wants 9 grand for that abomination. 9 hundred, maybe...

The turbo doesn't have anywhere for intake air to get in...?

I'm guessing that's a joke.

At first glance, I thought it was so badly out of tune, it was GLOWING hot.

Looks like he blocked off the compressor housing so the car can run N/A for now and be drivable.

That would almost make sense, except for the fact that the exhaust and center housings seem to be MIA.

At first I thought it had been sprayed that color to show the engine had been blown up for Cash for Clunkers, which is a big enough WTF.

No, put it out of OUR misery, please! A travesty. This douchenozzle turned that poor E36 M3 into, well, E36 M3.

It’s the only way this makes sense (minus orange paint). If the beaings or seals went a quick way to go back to N/A is to remove the compressor and center section, install a block off plate on the turbine housing, and cap the oil lines. Without the trubine wheel getting in the way exhaust will enter the turbine housing and go right out the back.
