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

Yeah but if they show 10 roots blown v8s and 1 mofo-turbo blown one, then i want to know about the turbo one since its not very common.
