Revell BMW 320i

Has anyone built this kit before? I am curious about the engine setup. The picture on the box looks like it might be turbo'd and the instruction sheet has it drawn/setup oddly. I was just wondering what the deal with it was. I plan on building the kit as a SPL comp car.

it is turbo-charged. Look at the side of the box and you can see it's a slant 4 turbo.

I looked at the box and the instructions and it looks like it might be a turbo but I think Revell got the plumbing for it wrong. One pipe/hose comes from the exhaust in the housing section then two pipes/hoses come out and go into the air box which attached directly to the bottom of the intake manifold.

it might need some work. but it's a decent kit when built.

I raced a guy driving one, once. Trust me, it's turbo'd

Still waxed him in the quarter though.
