What are out thoughts on the engine in this car?

My thoughts are standard red top with induction kit, then a few random pipes going into the bulkhead to try and make it look like a turbo... strange.

looks like a turbo manifold, but where the compressed air goes i have no idea, certainly not into the inlet

Looks to have a turbo manifold, but not to sure, its just that there is a powercap on the top, then a pipe goes from the o/s of the powercap to a induction kit, the induction kit should feed to the turbo, then the turbo feeds to an intercooler then to the powercap into the other side (n/s)

Seems to be a 2.0 16v with a turbo manifold and fake pipes, v-odd if you ask me.

ITS A REPOST!!!

I figured it out last time, and i'll explain again, the turbo is running the turbo. It looks as though the boost pipes run away from the turbo up into the strangely mounted scuttle panel intercooler then back down onto the turbo. Then simply uses an xe-type adapter onto the inlet. Whoever put the engine in is a COMPLETE MONKEY.

needs ripping out, then needs putting in a nice car and plumbing proper. but still cant see how it will work that, but if it does then fair enough, still looks shite under there, and outside to,

It wont work, the turbo isnt forcing any air into the engine, just circulating air round and round and round the boost pipes, turbo, intercooler.
