Is this due to different turbos and not the 2V Vs 4V/cyl? Boost pressure
should be more a function of the turbo Vs the number of valves, especially
at low RPM where there is not a lot of flow anyhows.....

My 87 5KTQW has much less low-end Vs my 88 5KTQ. What year did the 5KTQs
switch from the too-big K26 to the more responsive K24 turbos? Could my 88
have the K24 and the 87 have the too-big K26? Sure feels like it........
