The entire motor was rebuilt by Greg Armstrong. He is perhaps the worlds most highly regarded turbo specialist. Lambo hired him to design and implement the turbo systems on the Diablo. He also has a long time love affair with Alfa Romeos. He did the restoration on the very first GTV6 Callaway in 2002. He had this one from 2006-2009 when he completed rebuilding the motor and turbos. He gold cladded a lot of the finer parts and nuts and bolts to withstand the heat generated by the turbo.
The Alfa Romeo was shipped to England where it was improved by Alex Jupe of Alex Jupe Motorsport. There are receipts included totaling 23,000 GBP attesting to the amount of additional work done by Alex including the sport suspension components.
