He must be talking about the air recirculating valve which is controlled by a switchover valve and controlled by the EGR control unit. Some have theirs disabled with no problems reported. I think you can transplant the '85 engine with no problems as long as it fits the engine mounts. I wouldnt replace the turbo or the injection pump. I would go for the original from the '85. Most of the problems mentioned are emission related.
Ok.. You have to hold my hand here...

Would I just leave the electronic piece on the injector pump not hooked up to anything and run with it?

Or do I go ahead and get that "control box that is usually located inside the car behind the right side kick panel" as stated my MotorHead?

Personally I would rather run the '84 turbo the inlet seems to be a bit larger then the '83s. So it would seem I could just do that and have the air recirculating valve disabled. So then my worst case senario would be just to transplant my '83's injector pump on to the '84 engine.... And do it while it is not in the car!
