Just curious about this one...

Somebody is selling a 2001 Aurora Turbo V8.

No photo of the turbo setup in the ad, unfortunately. I contacted the seller, because I need to know!

Probably just an added adjective to make it sound "cooler" by an automotive ignorant seller. I think those are V8 rims in the picture so at least you know it's actually a V8. But, I am about 99.9% sure this not a forced induction Aurora. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'd bet money I'm not.

Looks like an unmodified V-8.
