Thats basically what I got for $200 a few years ago but mine had working gauges with it.

No oil line, No down pipe and No cross over in my case too.

This is the ATS 088 model.

how do you tell 088 and 085 apart?

The turbine housing is cast as one piece on the 088 and is a special ATS casting. The old 085 has a conventionl looking turbine housing that looks as though it might have been off the shelf in a garrett factory. The 088 has a slip joint connection to the down pipe while the 085 has the regular bolt flange.

I should add that the air box is not a reliable way to ID them since this type of air box is used on the older 085 as well as the 088. You need to look at turbine housing to be sure.

I just realized a critical part is missing.....The Y pipe. This is a cast iron part and can't be easily duplicated because of the precision fit and provision for 2 tapered flange connections at the bottom end. Downpipe and crossover can be replaced rather easily, but that Y pipe is a tough call. The later 093/aurora uses a shorter one too, so it won't fit either. ATS might have a replacemet, but considering this design was replaced back in 1993, I have my doubts.
