Twin turbo SVX?
Theres like, 10 in existance and the custom piping alone would be worth more than 2 grand.

I know of several single turbo SVX's, and I know of only a few twin turbo setups.
If it was a real custom TT setup, he'd have at least named the turbo's.
If it was real, I'd buy it in a second... Then resell it for more

Maybe they just have no clue. It seems like a common misperception that they came as a twin turbo...

they thought, "hey what performance catchphrases can I throw in this ad to make it sound cooler than it actually is?"

"this is pretty much a second engine - have been rebuilding it for over 2 years"
I think you'd have a hard time rebuilding an engine for 2 years and not noticing it didnt have any turbos

He's probably having a repair shop do all the work. I doubt he'd do it himself.

Yeah it's pretty much a second engine... after all, it has a new alternator and power steering pump.
