Hi,

>What differances were there to account for the 40 Hp that the U.S.
>models lost over the home market cars?
>I've owned an 83 for 5years and have yet to find an exact answer.

>From what I've read, different camshaft profile, stiffer wastgate spring, no 
cat, different engine computer. The very early euro cars ran open loop, i.e. 
no O2 sensor.

>BTW, my car was the first off the assembly line with the new style
>rear susp., fuse board, dual position diff locks, etc.

Did you used to live in Boulder, Colorado and work at Slipstream?

>Also, I have info on REBUILDING ur-Q hyd brake boosters.

I would like to know more about this.
