The engine in the picture I'm guessing was in a truck, based on the oil filter. But in place of the intake manifold, it has a box thing on it. Is this someting for turbo charging?

thats an old 300zx engine. They just had a different kind of intake manifold where the throttle body curved up from around the back.
