Delta Turbo WD

As is well known I'm an engine man and a bit clueless (frankly) on some aspects of some of the er, make-up of some cars. Well to be more accurate the make-up of some of the Lancia 4WD models.
Equally clueless I guess on some of the variegated things homologated by Abarth on 124/131 and other exotics - as those who ring me (assuming that I know every setups like an old friend will testify), eg: are the 131 Gp4 16v front hubs the same as the 8v? Or what was the carburettor used on the Stradale?
You get the picture.
We have new member (Stevemanby) who kindly visited my works today and over a coffee posed a few questions I simply could not answer about his Lancia 4WD turbo. The engine I am pretty-well OK with but Steve's (prefectly reasonable) tech Q's about the rest of the vehicle were beyond my ken.
So I am posting this in the hope that when he does ask these questions (which, in all conscience are important to him) some kind member with knowledge of these things will 'chip in' and help.
I have always felt, just for the record, that this car and the 8V Integrale were unjustly overshadowed by the 16v especially the cossetted 'Evo' versions.
No excuses chaps, thank you very much!
