Tell me about this 2.3 motor and computer

Just found another POSSIBLE 2.3 Turbo motor at the jy completely rebuilt, and looks like its never really been run. Oil is clean and slapper camshaft is spotless. Had a turbo valve cover on it too. Problem: Whoever had the car converted it to NA. BOOOOOO!!!! It had the vam disconnected and a NA stock header on it. Still had 30#injectors and nice ss turbo oil feed line that was plugged off.

I always find weird sh*t in the jy. Example: last week I found two cars with square tooth crank and auxilary shaft pulleys, but the camshafts had a round tooth pulley. Probably why its in the jy. LOL!!

Anyway,car had outlaw shootout stickers on it. Is that a sign its a race motor for a certain bracket?

Pulled the head off and this is what I saw. So is this a Turbo head? What kind of pistons are these?(they have 1.00mm stamped on them)Block is definetly a turbo block because it does have a water and oil return for turbo tapped in block. It has a TA computer that was rebuilt by Python. Anybody know about this company or part number I have posted.

Dont want to take it home unless I'm 100% positive its turbo stuff.

Looks to be a Turbo D chambered head with some HSC pistons. Hard to say without more info and pics.
