Re: 86 9K turbo parts on '89 900

I am not sure that it would be worth the effort to make all of the 9K stuff fit your 900. I understand that you may not have a 900 turbo parts car, and you want to put the 9000 items to good use, but none of it just drops in. In addition, the '86 9000 is the only non-watercooled turbo 9000.
I finally pulled the intercooler out of an '89 9000 turbo, and held it up to my '86 900 (which now has your '89 style headlights). I determined that it will only fit an '87-93 900 with the inlet and outlets at the bottom, with significant modification to the rad. support. Or, with significant mods to the side tanks (see posts from "Luke" on his nice sidetank treatment for his '80 900T). Bottom line: it won't fit upside down (sorry Mike). Still *may* work on a '79-86 older-headlight-havin' 900. We will see.
Now I have probably inspired you to MAKE the '86 9K turbo stuff fit your 900. (I'll show them!) In any case, I think it is great that you want to turbocharge your NA car. Let us know how it goes...
