inlet looks like a custom job, but what do i know?

ask the guy for the numbers on the actual turbo, I'll check mine as it's an ATS

It is definitely not a sidewinder, as the compressor would be on the driver's side and the turbine on the passenger. I don't know what the old style banks looks like cuz I 've never seen one without the ********* box.

That looks like a factory turbo setup with an aftermarket intake system. Everything else looks like my trucks turbo system.

It looks to Me like a factory turbo, the old style bank with the big air filter box sits on a different angle I believe, close but not like that one. So I believe.

I concur. The air filter concerns me though. Looks to be partially colapsed. Still, I'd buy it. ;Sweet

I knew it wasn't the old Banks Sidewinder, and the VIN says its a factory turbo, but that intake threw me. What would minimal hail damage mean?

That the hood, and most likely the chrome windshield trim look like someone took a ball peen hammer to it. So you would just plan on getting a new hood if it bothered you.

Prolly on the roof also. That’s how my roof is, but you really cant see up there so doesn’t much matter.

Yep,That is the factory original Turbo.I recognize that PITA clamp for the inlet side.The intake.....would have to go though even though it is better than the factory crap.
