No 8v turbos after 84'...at least in the US.....

The european market probably differs. Here's some little known trivia...in 1984, Saab introduced a very limited number (in the low hundreds) of 16v turbos for dealership exec's to try out - these were kind of a 8v/16v hybrid. I don't remember where I heard about this, nor do I remember which 8v components were used...it'd be cool to have one though.
Anyway, thanks for the BPV info...too bad about the atmospheric dump valve - I was looking forward to using it. I wonder how the cars that can use them allow for proper air metering...I'd think all FI systems would suffer the same problem as the c900 - is it just LH 2.2, or LH 2.4 as well?
