Oh off the top of my head: (this is assuming the turbo motor is complete, including intake, fuel system, AC compressor and alternator.

DME
KLR
Gauge Cluster
Engine Wiring Harness
Coolant Tank
Coolant crossover pipe
All associated coolant hoses
Vacuum lines
Turbo cooling pump
Associated relays
Headers, crossover pipe, entire exhaust all the way back to the tailpipe, wastegate
Brake booster heat shield
Radiator
Intercooler
Intercooler piping

I'll think of more I am sure.

How much power can the stock internals on both engines handle?

The turbo engine will go to 350whp without any problem. Above that, you really should strengthen the rods and studs.
