Up to 86 Turbos have the non-sealed strut assemblies where you can just replace the inserts - which is a helluva lot cheaper.


944Online has the adjustable Koni inserts (which for sure will fit) for just $243 each. (as opposed to $422 each for the whole assembly). When I re-do mine, this is what I'm gonna get.

I found Bilstein inserts that fit rebuildable Koni's for an 86 Turbo for $147 each.

And Lindsey Racing sells the Boge inserts with the part number you had for $96 each - and it says they DO fit an 86 Turbo.

I've got Boge/Sachs struts on my 83 NA and they're okay, but for my Turbo, I still wanna go for Koni's. It's not that much more...
