This is a good point and I'm grateful to you, Kent Sullivan, et al to
have learned this.

This is interesting and I hadn't thought of that before. However, isn't
one of the characteristics of a factory turbo vehicle (at least on
lates) that there's a special cutout in the rear panel for the turbo
exhaust? There's a good picture of what I mean on Gary Aube's site:

Maybe the 'O' in the tag/build sheet was used to instruct the lineworker
to install *both* the special dash and the rear sheetmetal with the
turbo exhaust cutout.
