The first generation turbo was installed in the '82-83 5000 Turbo with
the WK engine designation, this had NO intercooler and used exhaust
manifold pressure to open the Waste Gate. 130HP @5400 RPM. I ran across
one of these early body style 5000 Turbo cars the other day in the same
wrecking yard that had the '84 5000 Turbo that I got the intercooler out
of. This WK engine was the engine that the ur-Q Turbo was based on. The
second generation Turbo engine was the KH as came in the '84-85 5000
Turbo. Third generation Turbo engine was the MC designation. 

I don't follow your description of the 1st generation MC and second
generation MC engine? Can you explain the difference between the '85 MC
and the 86 MC? I was not aware of any difference in the MC engine
between '85 and 86, are you referring to the change to water cooling the
turbo? The big change in the MC engine was the dual knock sensor MC
engine version which came into play on 11/88 and was installed in the
89-90 200TQ, 89-91 200T.
