Default Super PJ on ebay?

I see the shaker hood but then he has a standard blower?? Is the scoop for show? license plate THREEO2 or something like that, wasn't this the twin turbo one that was up for sale a year or so ago?

Looks like a Saleen blower with a straight inline CAI. The Shaker must be attached to the hood and non-functional. Why he didn't go with a Super Shaker is beyond me.

Ok, here is the link of the car shown with twin turbos (#285): http://www.autoblog.com/gallery/twin...nes-mustang/#9
This is the same car shown on ebay (#285) pictured in front of exactly the same house. What is the deal with this? I have sent the seller a question...

Also... if you look closely at under car picture on ebay you can see the oil feed lines for the turbos (blue fittings)... This is hilarious.

Ok, so I got a response back from the seller on ebay:

That was my car. I did have twin tubos on my car, they were installed by Adrenaline Motorsports in Chatsworth, Ca. I decided that 800 RWHP was not such a great idea. I dont race, and I dont take it to the track. I also didnt want to spend the $10 a gallon on 110 octane, and run methanol to keep the fuel cool. I felt nervous driving the car because they were totally illegal in California, and I didnt want my car impounded by the police department. I decided to sell the turbo set up, and go with the Saleen Supercharger. Muscle Motors Performace of Canoga Park, Ca. installed the supercharger. The car is still very fast, and its legal. It also fits with my car, being a Saleen. So in essence, I blew $25,000 on a twin turbo setup because I didnt do the sensible thing. I got all caught up in horsepower, which I admit was not a wise decision. I also wasnt a good influence on my son, who will be driving next year.

So, could this be a legit story? Maybe... I would have at least taken new pictures so it didn't show the turbos under the car. I have sent him another question asking why he didn't go with the supershaker kit and if his scoop is attached to the hood.

800RWHP without changing the Clutch or tranny. Good thing he didn't race it and probably didn't get on it much if at all.

I wonder why he would have the super shaker on with the turbo but not with the blower.
