Really, although I would not approve of an SVT or SVO badge on the 87-88 TurboCoupe, I would not mind a SMALL SVO sticker on the glass or a front plate as that engine was basically the SVO Mustang engine, a 2.3 liter intercooled turbo. Earlier year TurboCoupes were not intercooled.
Automatic versions had single exhaust, only 150hp. MTX models had duals and 190hp. I had one (88 MTX), wish I still did now that I could afford to mod it.
Oh yeah, FWIW, the SVO Stangs ran a quicker 1/4 mile than the V8 GT's of the same model years  . I would say the 200 hp rating for the Stang was conservative, and from my experience so was the 190hp for the TurboCoupe.
