This is way too vague of a question... and it is not really that easy. Do some searches and you'll find a lot of information. Or at least give us some goals to work with.

Why set your goals so low?

I was also wondering how much stock horsepower they came with. I have 2 88 gtu's, the one I just bought the previous owner polished the intake and unrestricted the air intake a little so I don't know what I am running.

NOOOOOOOOOOB!

200 mph, you've got to be joking me... I mean come on. If this is your first turbo'd car your goals are waaaaaaaaaay too high. The fact that the car wont even go 200 on the stock tranny is going to be a problem. So uh... good luck with that.

^ Rob you bastard, i wanted to play some more, anyways. Your transmission will be gear limited at around 150-160 i belive anyways. I could show you a video of a 3rd gen speed test car out in the salt flats doing 215 when things went into the air. You're better off just researching into a J-spec motor.
