'85 Turbo Questions

Hey everyone, I just picked up an '85 Turbo that needs a little TLC. Anyway, I never had an '85 before, my last Turbo was an '87. I had a few questions that maybe some of you could help me out with.
1. The APC, underneath the back seat, is the only year of its kind. I would assume that all the inputs are the same on the different APCs (power, ground, knock sensor, solenoid control, etc.). Is there any reason that I couldn't take a later model APC and splice it in using the later model plug-connector? I have heard the later model has a better logic circuit. Is this true?
2. Is there any truth to the rumors that the '85 was a bad year for the engine wiring harness?
3. Is it true that the '85 turbo had a slightly hotter cam than the later turbos, or something to do with an unequal intake valve timing, unlike that later years where both intake valves open and close at the same time?
4. Are there any other differences that would be good to be aware of?
Thanks a lot everyone for any input you might have.
