Check and see if the turbo has a water cooled bearing housing.

I wouldn't even know where to find the turbo. I'd have to think to remember
where the hood catch is - don't open it much.

You cannot see it on a Turbo II either.


Don't need the power on the low end.
By low, I mean 2400rpm. I can pull away in 5th gear at 2400.


Where do you live John?

It says "West Palm Beach, FL" on the bottom of my post.   :)


Sorry brain fade on my part. I even knew that as I was going to visit.
Sheeesh :-) There are places in Florida where you can sustain rental car top
speeds for up to five minutes :-)


West Texas I hope. Now that would be driving HARD.

I'm not talking about top speed. I need continual hard acceleration &
braking to get around all the snowbirds.
