The car originally had a naturally aspirated LS engine and so the custom headers and left side exhaust are part of the package, along with a spare powered leather driver’s seat.

The engine produces 810 RWHP at 18psi of boost. We do not change the tune from street driving to racing. It is truly a dual purpose vehicle, in every sense of the meaning.

Selling Price: $42,000.00 US complete or $22,000.00 US without the engine and transmission.
The conversion to a turbocharged engine was accomplished without cutting anything from the original installation. The headers, left side exhaust, air intake, motor mounts, A/C compressor, etc can be re-installed without modification to return this car to an LS naturally aspirated condition.
If requested, the car will be delivered to Niagara Falls NY and legally imported into the USA for a fee of approximately $750.00.
