Default 99 Civic Si Turbo

Hey I was wondering if any of you know any real specs on a 1999 Honda Civic Si Turbo that was traded in at ADVANT Motors of Tampa? They have it sitting over there right now. And I was wanting to know some details about this car. I test drove it but the boost gauge nor oil gauge works...It pulled pretty hard for a honda/turbo. Any info is greatly appreciated. I don't think it's been tuned either because it idled irratically up and down and they have a ebay bov on it that doesnt sound off.

yeah...they want 9,998 for it, 72k miles on it. Dunno if anyone else is interested in it. I think a mechanic would be able to tell more about it. I just wanna know if it's built and how many miles are on the motor with the turbo install...anyone can slap some turbo on a car

I highly doubt it's built. I would properly compression test it if you're really interested in it
