RE: turbo groups (was Mist Info TAP)

Hi Linus,

>I'm confused.  Are you saying the '84-88 5000 T/TQ group is actually two
>groups, '84-85 and '86-88?  just curious.

I am not real sure here on the  84-85 5000T engines. I have not really 
checked into these much and am not sure how similar they are to the 86 turbo 
engine. I have been looking into the 86-90 engines a bit and am learning 
about these, most likely an 86-88 will be transplanted into my TQC. Can any 
netters shed some light on the 84-85 5000T engines?

I know the 86-88 5000T engines have a single knock sensor, ECU diagnostic 
memory, hydraulic head, water cooled turbo, 20% lighter pistons than the 
previous turbo engine which incorporates a revised squish area, a 2.22 
displacement(1.5mm larger bore) replacing the 2.1 liter displacement, the 
camshaft was also changed, boost pressure is now controlled electronically. 
All this resulted in improved engine output specs, 166 ft-lbs at 3000 rpm 
and 158 hp at 5500 rpm.
