Alan -
I have both cars. That's basically the only difference. The A90 also uses
a mechanical pump which is on the left front of the block, generally works
pretty well except it is susceptible to vapor lock being below the
manifolds, so the truck from old A90 guys is to wire a piece of wood to the
fuel line that acts as a heat sink and then no more vapor lock!
Cheers,
Alan
