Look at the signs: body damage, broken sway bar, missing/damaged wheels, bad alignment, gauges/intercooler still in place but not hooked up, headers...

He probably sold the UTEC and turbo to someone that already owns a Z...
+1. That's the first thing I thought of once I saw the intercooler w/ lack of turbo and unattached gauges. (plus numerous broken things) No one would put in all the piping and attachments for the turbo and not actually put on in place.

idk guys ,that idea is a little far fetched.

single in single out intercooler = single turbo

where was he going to mount the turbo? Unless it was a remote mount setup like the STS then theres no more room in the engine bay. Look at the piping routing.

Who knows really..
