from what i have seen they are around 90 hp and im sure they are different bolt patterns

yes they are very different, I though that the EA71 only made around the 70hp mark but I can't confirm this. However the EA82T only cranks out 130hp on 7psi so the numbers seem right.

yeah, that sounds about right to me, and no, different bolt pattern, only same as EA71
