Actually, if you're looking for a core to rebuild and have the ability to
drill a hole in the block for the oil-return line from the turbo, it will
(should?) work just fine.  I sold my '88 5kt motor two weekends ago for a
price I couldn't refuse ($1,200!) and plan to use my '87 5k NA motor as a
core for a performance motor for my '89 200q ... of course, I'll be using
all new everything in it and basically need only the castings themselves.

PS: The oil squirters came on the 10:1 NA motors from the factory.  Earlier
NA motors don't have them...
