My 1994 CS Turbo had the full 200 HP turbo package, with a dash gauge. In 1995, someone decided that the CS would be the low-spec/low-power (175 HP) package and came up with the LPT; the only cost savings were eliminating the Boost Pressure Control valve and the dash gauge - in bulk, this was probably a savings of less than $100 of costs per car, and added some accounting costs for another product line. The CS came with cloth seats, no standard sunroof, no wood veneer on the dashboard, etc. I think that the idea was to encourage buyers to opt for all the bells and whistles in the CSE package, which came with the full 200 HP turbo setup.
