As I understand it, the GTU is the base model from 89-91, nothing special at all. The GTUs is basically a T2 with an N/A engine and is quite rare. Not sure about the early GTU.
If you're looking for a healthy kick in the pants, nothing but a T2 will do, IMHO.

in another post someone asked if their t2 would run ok without the turbo, and was told not really because the compression was too low (except KompressorLOgic says its the same)? im guessing that mazda messed with compression (not to mention the ecu) just to put turbos on?

not only is the compression lowered on the t2s there was also a weight differance in the the rotors from s4 to s5 as well. ill have to dig up a chart i got on the weight and compression of each year rotor.
