AL Turbo'd rx8 spotting

So i was at a local car meet where i ran into some fellow 8 owners and found a turbo'd rx8 but the setup didnt look quite right, but im no turbo expert. It sounds ok though

Yeah that compressor surge is crazy. A prime example of most turbo RX-8's I see online, they run as in they technically move but that is about the extent of it. I highly doubt it is tuned or fast though.
