If it looks too good to be true, it probably is.

Isn't that Greddy Profec-B a boost controller and NOT a turbo timer... If you look at the engine bay, one of the boost lines is blue.

Edit: Yep, it's a Boost Controller... The idiot wrote a Turbo Tuner, which people misinturpered that it was a Turbo Timer...

From what my guess is, it probably has or had a bigger fuel pump, injectors, AEM (or other EMS), Boost Controller, and probably other goodies as well...

Edit 2: Is it just me or is the muffler cracked? There is a thin line at the bottom.

The car is idling in the pictures. I noticed the boost/vaccum gauge is only at 15hg which seems a bit low for idle. I know mine is right at 19-20 @ idle. Does anyone know what this could point to?

Looks clean, except that airbox has been cut open. As long as the filter is in place it should cause no harm tho.

Since you are in Iceland are you sure you want US-spec evo? I have no idea of your registeration regulations, but here in Finland it is almost impossible to get US-spec cars registered. You might want to check it before buying.

I'm not expert in this field but at least older US 8's doesn't have neither ACD nor front LSD. Also there is no rear fog light or tow hooks, lights doesn't have e-approval, rear bumber is different etc. Like I said, I don't know if that is a problem in Iceland but I'd say you definitely should check that.

If you have liberal laws regarding type approval buy Evo 6, It's more fun!
