European 16V Corrado camsets from the Digifant 16Vs???

[drew@scirocco.cs.uoguelph.ca (Drew MacPherson)]

As far as I know there have only been 2 16V engines used in the Euro 
Corrado - the KR (1.8, non Catalyst with 133bhp, and the 9A (2.0) with 
136bhp.

Besides the PG (1.8 g-lader 160bhp-DigifantI) the only other Corrado
engine that was digifant as far as I can tell from ETKA was the 2.0L 8v
(available for one year - '94?) which is listed as Digifant as well, 
although it may have been Digi2)

There appears to also have been an ADY code 2.0L 8V with 115bhp that is 
listed as having a SIMOS engine control unit - I've never heard of this 
one but perhaps another lister could enlighten us.

So I would say the guy is blowing smoke, as there does not appear to have 
ever been a) a 150bhp 16V in a Corrado, b) a digifant 16V, and c) unless I 
miss my guess, didn't the Corrado debut with the 1.8 G-lader (PG) engine?
