I don't see a turbo. Looks like somebody build a custom air filter box

My take on that photo.

1. It looks like a 3.2 engine that someone relocated the air flow meter and added a custom made air filter.

2. The vents on the quarters I suspect are for looks only.

My tip that it is a custom 3.2l turbo install with CAC in the rear fenders is the braded hose attached to the fabricated inlet to the left. Probably a pressure tap to the W/G.

It'd be nice if all hardware was, at least, similar... that tells me a lot about it...
