Wait a minute......On my torsen equipped '90 90Q20V, which is not
turboed (duh!....keep the revs high!) the rear diff is lockable
with an electronic cutout at ?30kph?, the centre torsen is of
course not lockable.  Does the above post mean that my lowly
90Q20V (keep the revs high) has the turbo transmission?
