Parts Car (help quick)
Hey guys, heres the thing.
1985 Turbocharged Lebaron, it been given to me as a parts car, i looked under the hood and it has a external waste gate, selanoid and what looks like a intercooler mounted in front of the radiator. Am i correct to assume that this is a turbo, and not a supercharger because of these parts? Can i pilage these parts out of the car and some how use it in the quest to turbo my 1gen pro?
also, is there anything else in it that i could use, like the alternator (maybe its stronger)
thanks in advance.
just incase pics will help.

ok sitting up doing research, ill need help from you turbo guys now. Assuming i yank the turbo (its a Turbo I Garrett t3) and the intercooler, what kind of work would i be looking at to fit this on my pro? Says it runs at 7-10psi, im sure ill need to buy a new manifold from blt but besides that what else goes into this?

no im very serious. whats funny about my question? the engine comes from the factory with a t3 on it, can i rip it off and use it on my pro (sounds serious enough to me) 
but ok it doesnt matter anymore i suppose, i cant get the turbo off the frikin engine without a cherry picker and i dont have one on me, but, i was being very serious.

i was just making sure, but i thought it might have been super charged because
1. the car has no boost gauges
2. its auto tranny
sorry sheesh, i know computers not cars, see when it says pro newbie it really means it. I just started reading into cars 4 months or so ago im not that literate yet.
in the computer market just because something says its something doesnt really mean it is, car example, a mustang gtr i once saw.

Whats your mission? Use the turbo from the 2.2 on your pro?
Or get the 2.2 Boostin nicely?
