if it's a 3.8L v6 then it came from a super coupe wich has an eaton style supercharger on it. if it's a turbo coupe then it's a 2.3L 4 cyl with a single turbo. just FYI man.

Nah..this one was a V6 and it had a turbo on it...i know the difference. Must have been a custom job then. Damn good job then, cause it looked factory.
