4kTQ conversion questions - part II

[quattro2@ix.netcom.com]

First of all, thanks to all who responded, there really is a wealth of info out there for doing 
the turbo swap into a 4KQ if you know where to look.

I went "donor" hunting this past weekend and found an 86 5KTQ for sale - 130k on the clock. The 
car started right up (the motor was cold, I checked first ;) and no smoke was observed, idled 
normally etc. Only the typical lifter and #@%^*! warbling water pump noises heard. This car is 
loaded with a 5spd, leather, ABS.. Drove fine, although I think it needs a tuneup (kinda doggy 
down low). Boost read 1.3 bar, both diffs locked right up, and all the electric goodies worked 
too. After a good hard run I shut the car off and behold, the after run coolant pump and rad fan 
worked! Restarted hot just fine. All for $1800. I made an offer, just waiting to hear back....

My additional questions...

1.	If (when) I go back for a second look, anthing I should double check on the donor car?? 

2.	Will the 5K tranny work in my 4K? Mine is on the way out I think.. I see it's designated       
	as the 016 tranny, same as in my car. What about the rear diff?

3.	What is are realistic torque/HP numbers for a MODIFIED version of the MC motor? Something 
	that will have some reliability.

4.	Manufacture date on plate located on drivers door sill said 7/85 - does this make it an 86 
	model. It was kinda hard to tell, but I think the turbo was water cooled...

TIA
