i read about it last night after seeing it on ebay... it has a variable vane turbo with 4 "guides" in the exhaust housing that direct flow through the turbine. i quess it works kind of like the new powerstroke turbo with variable vanes.

I remember reading somewhere about the crx being released with a turbo at one time. It had a Quick Boost Controll Switch to run either 6 or 10psi. I belive the article was in turbo mag. I'll have to check on that it was pretty interesting.

I looked into it a while back. The variable vanes on the turbo are controlled by the ECU, which are virtually impossible to find at this point. You can retrofit a a different turbo, but I would rather start with a 2.7 and build my own turbo system. I am picking up a 2.7 in the next couple of weeks. Just need to find the time to run down to Oregon.
More info about the c20a turbo can be found here;

*edit* It seems the ebay engine does have an ECU. Very interesting!

Buddy of mine has wanted a triple black 91-95 Legend for many years now. I think emailing him this link broke him.
