Actually it isn't a turbo (i.e. turbocharger), strictly speaking, as it's belt driven. It's a supercharger - used to be known as a Rootes Blower, viz:

Ian, are you referring to the photo you posted? The one Lisa posted is definitely a turbocharger. And what a way to show it off, I'm surprised they've not started making dummy kits like that to go with the fake blow-off valve sound effect kits you can buy.
