Is the EGR tube on a '87-'88 TurboCoupe the same as a '85.5-.86 SVO? Visually they look the same, just wanted to confirm.
There's not enough room under the hood to hold the TC tube next to my SVO tube. :(
Thanks, Paul

It is different but should be close.

The exhaust manifold and EGR valve are the same parts however the upper intake casting is ~1" lower than the SVO - note the recess in the cam cover.

Thanks Mike! :like2:
Duh, I should have thought about that when I was looking at the darn thing. :(

No worries, mate. There's lots of little changes between years and models.

You would think after 21 years of messing with these cars I would remember some of the common changes over the years (and why they were done).

Reminder: Don't bounce your head off a cement foundation wall, it kind of screws up your memory...
