Default TX-3 Question

Hello everyone, it's been a long time since I last visited this website (Immediately after my AU XR8 was stolen and burnt, actually), so it's good to be back :

I'm looking at buying an '87 Laser TX-3, mainly because I want a toy, and its cheap with good km, to do a build on (by the time I get to it, it may be sold anyway). Seems like it would be good fun, a little AWD with Turbo.

My question is, what sort of sensor does an '87 TX-3 use for load measuring? MAP, MAF, or AFM? If anyone knows, let me know ASAP plz.

Pretty sure they got an AFM.

Have fun destroying those gearboxes.

I've heard that the gearboxes can be touchy. Regardless, I'd like something different (for here anyway) and I'm on a budget at the moment.

Thanks for that answer guys!

Just a few more questions if I may,

1. What is the fuel injector size and number?

2. How is the ignition controlled?

3. Anyone have any comments on the limits of the stock ECU?

Not sure if they're modable(is that even a word?) but they're good up to 14psi so I've heard.
