Question

[Ameer Antar]

Yah, it must be a misprint. The Bentley says 8.3:1 in the tech data
section. I just hope the brochure is wrong...About the water-cooled turbos,
the fam album says any '85 from vin: 034 552 and up should have the new
water-cooled design. I can verify, b/c I have an '85 w/ water-cooling. The
KH and MC versions show different part numbers though. I wonder if it's
just a different compressor trim or what??
