Default SSEi Turbo??

Take a look:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2448783812

I sent him an email asking if he'* sure it was a turbo and not a SC, and here is his reply:

Thanks for your question, However I'm not a big car buff I don't know really what the real difference is with them. The car does however say it is bonneville SSei turbo.
I was informed at the time by the dealership that it is what it says. I don't remember if my ad says its a supercharged engine but I will look at the ad again. And I Know for a fact that it is a V-6 turbo with all the gauges. thanks again.
Hmmm...Curious.... :? :?

Okay, I sent him another email saying:

My SSEi has a boost gauge as well for the factory installed supercharger (which does the same thing a turbo does, but is belt driven). All SSEi'* are supercharged from the factory. If it does, in fact, have a turbo on it, it is aftermarket. If this is the case, I'd love to see pics of the enging bay, if you don't mind...

Wait a sec...you say the car itself says "Turbo" on it?!?! Is there any way you can snap a pic of that for me?? If this is the case, I may look more seriously into buying that car...In fact more pics would be greatly appreciated!!!
We'll see what the response is...I'm very curious now...

response may be..."My camera is broken, so I can't take anymore pictures."

It sounds like somebody stuck a decal on the car and called it good.
