There were no factory turbocharged Corvettes. The Calloway C4s were not turbo from the factory. Post pics so we can see what you have.

I will get some picks. we know the factory didn't make them as they did not do yanko camaros but were sold by dealer with an updated Vin this has that.
the owner wants to sell it i can't help with price till

and probably pretty valuable.
