All exhaust manifolds for 16v cars should be the same. The one thing to check is that in 1990 most 900Ts got an EGR system which involved tapping into the exhaust manifold - your '85 doesn't have that tap, just a plug blocking it. Theoretically, you should be able to pull the tap out of yours and put it in another manifold, but doing so might be incredibly hard. So: You should be able to use the exhaust manifold from any 16V Turbo on your '85. If you can't locate one, let me know as I do have an extra from an '88 SPG. -Justin
