230F never was the designation of any turbo 230. 230FT is. Same goes for 230E and 230ET. The designation system became more complicated with the introduction of slightly tuned n/a and LPT models in the 90's.

Can't really tell the differences for US/UK cars but in Sweden, it's really obvious:

230F - LH Jetronic FI (electronic), cat/oxygen sensor, "low" c/r 113-116 hp.
230E - K Jetronic FI (mechanic), no cat/no oxygen sensor, "high" c/r, 131 hp.

Chris probably is right about cams, too. There also was a 240/230E combo with 129 hp because of its simplier ignition system (lacking knock sensor, requiring premium gas). 230K was the last carb evolution (230A basically modified to accept unleaded and lower octane rated fuel).
