Someone else will know for sure, but I'm almost positive this is an aftermarket added turbo. I'll bet that's what the extra breathing is for. The Power Stroke wasn't around, at least in the van, in 1994. Maybe not in any of them. It's still the same 7.3 otherwise I think so parts availability should certainly be no problem.

The Hypermax is definitely an aftermarket turbo to the 6.9/7.3 IDI diesels. Just so everyone knows, the pre-1994.5 7.3 (and earlier 6.9 for that matter) diesels are of a completely different design (IDI = InDirect Injection) than the 1994.5+ 7.3 Powerstroke (Direct Injection engine). This 7.3 IDI has absolutely zero electronics (other than transmission) and can run off of a single wire that keeps the fuel shutoff solenoid open! The IDI's have a pretty decent following and are pretty robust engines.
Eric - you are spot on with modernization. A little black T-molding and a billet grill would be cheap and go a long way!
If that rig was clean and tight, I don't think the price is too far off for someone looking for that exact setup.
