Default turbo XB ute in Street Machine?

nah its not a feature car.. In the article on the QLD powercruise, on page 62, theres a small pic of a silver XB ute. At least i think its a ute..
Anyways, there's a dirty big turbo sitting where the factory air-con pump would normally be mounted.

Anyone got any pics or info on this thing?

EDIT: its in the current issue, HQ munro on cover

the old school roots blower has a lot of advantages over the new centrifigul ones. however you can get better, smaller roots type blowers now. they just dont look as muscley
