Exhibit a:http://www.frenchrev.com/sales/peugeot-505-1989TurboSwhite01.html

Exhibit b:
well I dont have one, but I cant see how you could stay within
emissions and run properly a racing head with hot cams on a
stock EFI computer, and in particular on the L-jet. The
Motronic or Magnetti-Marelli on the Lancia Delta 16v can
both accomodate 16v and 8v, the L-jet Beta cant use the
16v head nor the hot cams. Well, a new ignition map for
the EZ200K on the 505 could be used, yet it still would
not run the proper fuel mixture.

"normal" turbos are LU-jet, with a mostly analog fuel computer
and dont have the possibility of being reprogrammed like the
Motronic.
