The 81 5kt has an OXS... although it is just plain vanilla CIS running 
the engine, 130 hp, as I recall... though it sure seemed faster than 
that.  Then again, the used car dealer I got it from mumbled something 
about a waste gate spring...

I bet it is faster than your 5kt, or at least close to it.  130 hp at 
3042 lbs CW versus 108 at 2624 for the 80... and less air resistance.

But why get rid of something so "tried and true", eh?
