the only rectangle on the car would be the stock muffler and that would mean that you looked under the car in the back, you need to look under the hood. Please if you have a camera take pics, things will clear up alot quicker

Square turbo? I can't tell from those tiny pics, but I would have to guess that you are seeing either the OE airbox (uses a retangular filer) or the cover over the battery box... also factory installed.

Based upon those pictures I'm going to hazard a guess that csmova's car does not have a turbo.

again, the "rectangular box" i saw was not under the hood, like in the pictures. the box i saw was when i went under the back of my car and looked towards the middle. connected to the exhaust system was a golden/brass colored rectangular box.

ok, you dont have a turbo and like i had stated before thats your stock muffler, you need to go back to the person you bought it from and punch them in the face....HARD.

I realize that you are from the greater Baltimore area, Tracker, and that it can be a rough town, but really, promoting a hard punch in the face?
Better still take him to claims court (the "People's Court") and sue his *ss, or he will get you for assault!!

:P You're silly!!

Tracker is right though. You are looking at the muffler.
But why then would you post pics of the engine compartment?
