Is this TA engine stock?? Ok, I need some help from the experts.
Can any of you guys spot anything that doesn't look stock in this engine compartment?
No this is not a trick question. I am thinking of buying this car and I want to make sure it's 100% stock (as advertised).
It's a 2001.

usually the first thing people mess with is the air intake. The bellows and lid are stock on this car. Also take a look at the exhaust manifolds (make sure they arent headers) and exhaust system. Any out-of-place welds or cuts in the exhaust should tell you there is some work done.

Looks stock but look at the bolts that hold **** together... see if they have scars on them suggesting they have had a socket/wrench on them... People often mod a car, beat the **** out of it then remove the parts and sell it as a stock car....
