the VX just has a weird manifold, I've seen it before. though someone does make a turbo adapter plate for it. The car looks really clean as in no rust or damage. Did you get a good deal or have to pay out the ass for it?

I'm not sure that motor is a good candidate for turbo though it's been done. Generally a stock D series motor in good condition can handle 200hp. But most people go with a D16Z6 or D16Y8. You could probably piece together a turbo kit for around 1k. Check out turbod16.com and browse around they have a lot of specific info on the D motors.

I paid $800 for car the rest was plugs, wires, cap, rotor, fuel filter, pcv valve, distributor, trim for instrument cluster, fender, front bumper, alignment, alarm, and a few other items I'm forgetting.
