yes it is a vtech, thats obviously not the original engine in the car but that should be a DOHC with vtech on intake and exhaust

Re: Will this get me started

too much for a beginner tuner...but if your into muscle cars take it for a test drive and it might make you change your mind on what kind of cars you like lol

otherwise it completely depends on the quality of work on the mods.i could buy the most expensive turbo kit out there and build the engine as much as possible...but depending on how well i assembly the engine and such is what determines how long it will last or if it will run right.

Re: Will this get me started

Personally I would never buy a heavily modded car unless I was going to part it out to make a profit. That certainly looks like a fast setup, but turbo cars need a lot of maintenance. If you're unfamiliar with turbo cars (or Honda's for that matter) I wouldn't recommend it unless you're in for an adventure.

If your used to RWD cars you best take it for a drive and make sure you can handle the torque steering.
