I think it was optional in '94, with an on-off switch. So try to find a '91 or early '92. TCS causes widespread problems and is difficult to fix or remove. When it fails, you're in limp-home mode. Otherwise, the engines are strong and the 9000 turbos go like a scalded cat. For lots more information on 9000s, including what to look out for and how to maintain 'em, look at this website: http://quasimotors.gar.net/ Bill
