subject to correction from others, as far as I have been able to determine (for my 93 the "S" was basically an option package that included cruise control, "mag" wheels, and possibly a sunroof. Engine was the same for "S" and "non-S". My car appears to not be an "S" but there's an "S" on the trunk lid preceeding the 900 (so it's an S900?) and there's no cruisse control or mags.
Turbo vs non turbo...the 2.1 engine in the early 90s is a strong mid-range engine and with the 5th gear being direct not an overdrive, you've got a fairly close ratio box...great for chewing up twisty bits where 0-60 is less important than, say, 40-70.
The turbo seems to add about 60 HP. It seems to be a fairly mild boost compared to most.
My preferance is anti-turbo. My prejudice is that these are simply large expensive spark plugs that need replacing more often than the engine itself...yet cost as much.
