The whole sticks of butter seem like a better idea than crunchy chips right after dental surgery. Those tostitos have to be painfully not worth it.

Now seems as good a time as any. Would you mind paying out all the eccentricities of the biturbo again? Something something valves that float or some weird head design.

It came up in a conversation with bar buddies the other day and I couldn't remember enough specific examples of why it's the superlative example of Italian malaise.

V: Right, it's starting to come back to me now. Weren't most carb'd turbo and supercharger designs draw though so the carb could have a fighting chance to get the A/F stoichiometry right?
VV: Wait, the carb was in a plenum? Could you even adjust it while the car was running, or did you need to disassemble it all, adjust, reassemble, and then fire it up? Because, holy poo poo.

Well, the biggest issue was reliability with twin turbos (sans intercooler) feeding a blow-through carburetor (housed in a plenum). This is an archaic, finicky design that is asking for trouble (which they found). The '87+ changed to fuel injection and that took a lot of the reliability problems away, as far as the motor goes. But the reputation damage was done by that point.

And yeah, they have a weird 3-valve head.

And, from personal experience, I had an '87 that developed an exhaust leak at the manifold/head. In taking it off (a never-touched ~25k mile car), there were some cylinders with one gasket between the manifold and head, while some had two gaskets... :wtf:

Meatpimp forgot to say the carb had a manual choke. And not just any wierd 3 valve setup...
