240 Turbos 200

Hi folks:

Wondering if anyone could tell me how much difference there is in "real world" performance between a 240 turbo and a normally aspirated 240 DL/GL. The turbo without intercooler only has a 15 horsepower advantage over a normally aspirated B23F/B230F. Looks like the intercooler adds another 20 or so ponies to the stable. I imagine that a turbo intercooler with 157hp and 175 ft. lbs. would perform like a small V6, but I've never actually driven one.

Is the maintenance trade-off worth the increase in power output? Were the turbo models available with manual transmission? All of the turbos that I've seen to date have been autos.

Thanks.
