That was me who inquired about the car on behalf of a friend. This was prior to the current condition, however. I still steered him away from it as there were too many unknowns.
The biggest red flag in my eyes was intake/TB, cat-less mid-pipe, and maybe a smaller pulley (looks mighty small to me anyway) without any sort of tuner/programmer to go with the car. I figured the previous owner did the mods and maybe had a canned OTS tune on it, but reflashed it to stock in order to unmarry the tuner. After all, what's the point in doing those mods without a tune to take advantage of them.
From what I was told, the owner of the dealership is actually the one who popped the motor. Sounded like he took it out for a joyride and this was the result.
