I just found a XT-6 in the wrecking yard I live at today, along with 4 more turbo EA-82's. Pretty stoked! My car is an 1988 turbo sedan with a 4 speed automatic full time 4 wheel drive. The XT-6 is also full time 4 wheel drive but is a 5 speed. I have read on this board that I can swap the suspension from the XT onto mine and gain 5 lug flexibility, is there any other benefits? Stiffer struts? lower? I have access to a set of '1992 Turbo Legacy brakes and suspension, besides it having vented rears and two piston front calipers(this legacy setup will cost me 400.00 and I haven't sealed the deal yet) What about the tranny? Is it strong? Is it as strong as a legacy turbo tranny? I think it would be a more direct swap than the legacy... any input (I swear) is wanted.

One big plus.. if its FT4WD 5 Spd, it probably has a 3.90 rear LSD.

SO whats the deal with these XT's? I think I have a good chance of getting ahold of a nice one up here... worth buying?

what specifically do you mean? are you looking at an XT, XT Turbo or an XT6?

Think hes got a XT turbo and a XT6... I take it the 6 is a 6 cylinder model?

Grab the XT6 - awsome ride. XT's are a dime a dozen, but the XT6 is more rare.

Yes, get the XT-6 if you can.

Took the one I bought (for a parts car) out for a quick 2 mile run.

Those 2 extra cylinders and the MPFI sure does kick the YeeHaa factor up a couple of notches.
