The Nasamax DM139 began life as a Reynard 2KQLM LMP900, chassis #006.
This car first appeared at Sebring in '03 and was then powered by a ethanol fueled Champ Car Cosworth turbo V8.
The entire engine installation was essentially removed from a Reynard Champ Car and plopped into the Nasamax-Reynard chassis.
The turbo is fed via the exhaust headers on the left and right hand sides of the engine, the single turbo actually resides within the bellhousing.  At the lower left of the above image you can see the left hand side exhaust running into the bell housing.  The pipe coming out the center of the bellhousing is the exhaust proper.  The pipe leading out of the top of the bellhousing comes off the turbo and feeds into the plenum on top of the engine.
