that the turbo unit out of my old '83 would be a bolt-in replacement for my (then) new(er) '86. Turns out I never needed to replace it.
My guess would be that you could use a turbo from '82, when APC was introduced. Earlier turbos may very well fit. As others have said, the '88+ turbos had additional water cooling, which is a good thing. If you plug the water lines, you still have an oil-cooled turbo. Personally, I'd hook up the coolant lines for even more peace of mind- even though I've driven several 200,000+ mile 900 turbos and never had a turbo unit go bad.
If you can't find a reasonable parts yard, Email me. I've got more than one spare kicking around here in Kingston, NY.
