1986 had different interior options and no ride adjustment switch, had the NON intercooled Garrett T3

the 87-88 are intecooled with a small IHI turbo and more luxurious and heavier

oh im just talking about the motor not the car. so no differences between the motors? besides the intercooler on the 87/88.

Thanks,

the 87-88 has a large vam and a different "square" intake
computer has more aggressive timing tables and fastest processor speed...
87-88 has E6 manifold, best flowing stock and best potential for a stock turbo manifold

early car has small vam and E3 manifold with an inline intake

uh idk could be more small stuff

most people say the gutted and knifed late intake is best but its all marginal i guess
