What things are particular to an '85 turbo?

So I've got what looks like a decent deal on an '85 turbo with a strong 16V motor and no noticeable transmission problems. It's a 2 door with 160k miles. I'm taking another more thorough look at it tomorrow before buying it. Having owned an '87 900s with many miles on it for a number of years, I familiar with most common 900 problems of that period.
What things should I look for that are particular to the '85? I've already noticed the frayed wire harness. Is any turbo wiring harness up to 1987 (or beyond) compatible? Is other wiring suspect?
