Default Help with 1JZ Motor

Here is the story, I am trying to buy this sc300 in a Online auction. Found out that it come with a 1JZ motor on it. The problem is: The discription of the car said that the car doesn't run.

I am trying to figure out. What is missing under the hood. In order for me to buy the car and be sure in what struggle i am getting into ..

Please let me know what you guys see.

It look like the turbo is missing. or something. But not sure.

Thanks for your help !!

It looks like just the turbo intake pipe is missing, and so is the battery. I don't see the MAP sensor mounted anywhere, you need that to run.

The igniter is mounted on the Driver side strut tower, so that's good.

Don't know why it wouldn't run, wiring? Can't really tell in this picture, more info!

The battery is the most obvious thing... unless it was relocated to the trunk
