Perhaps Roy will know, but I have to wonder if the turbo didn't die from ingesting the innerds of the original trap-ox? As I understood, the trap-ox campaign was supposed to include a turbo if the trap had begun to come apart internally. Someone please correct me if wrong.

EDIT: As I hit send I remembered we are reading about an SDL, I'm thinking the trap-ox campaign was for '85 models. Who remembers which year(s) were covered?
