Friend is thinking of a 91 9kT. Canadian car. We're gonna check it out tomorrow.

I'm relatively unfamiliar with 9kTs,especially later ones, as I'm a c900 guy. So here's a list of what I know and what I don't
know, hope you can fill in the blanks:

Know:
-same 5d bodyshell as my 88 9kT...
-...but with sloped grille and headlights, ie. off an 89 CD(?)
-factory quoted 200hp B234 turbo, but more like 230hp & ~250(?) foot lbs
-Mitsubishi T25 turbo, small, good spool up
-as Larry put it, DI/APC "v2.0"
-pretty much loaded accessory wise...
-...but make sure the heater core is in good shape (how to tell besides
the heat/AC not working?)
-the B234 is a damn fine engine, but the balance shaft sprockets can wear
-looks damn good in Edwardian grey, grey leather and 16" two-tone Aero
wheels

Dunno:
-if DI/APC does boost and ignition, what does the fuel? It's not LH, it's
not Trionic, so...
-ABS is standard, yes, same system as my 88?
-Traction control standard, or only on 92s?
-turbo longevity? I mean, I haven't paid much attention to the Garretts on
our cars, neither the one on the 88 9kT, and the SPG's original lasted for
over 500,000km; but it's not like you have to rebuild it like a G60
supercharger every once in a while?

Any other pitfalls to look out for that are specific to the 9k and
especially a 91 9kT?

Thanks for any suggestions.
