    EGR Tubes

    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!
    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...
