Engines had no intercooler or APC. According to the VIN, my 1989 900 Turbo S was made in Finland. Your information makes perfect sense. I call mine an "Aspiring Aero" (like "When I grow up ... I want to be a Aero"), rather than "fake" since it wasn't the car's fault it only got an 8 valve :) She's still beautiful though.
