Also pay close attention to see if there are any skips in the motor as it is running, if so.... it's hurt. Last but not least, have the guy run the car good and hard before you commit.

Hmmm. I didn't see that when I looked the first time, definitely looks suspect. I've never seen a turbo car running two filters.....

LMAO. It's got a "Vortex power duct". You can see it on the side of the intake in red letters. A quick google found this.....

Which led me to this.....

How come I cant find people like this to sell to?

So does he think it's a Vortech or did the seller tell him a bunch of nonsensical **** about the intake? Seriously some of the funniest **** I've seen in a while.
