suggestions on how to extract more power from the stock engine of a 1989 MX-6 turbo 4WS ? cheap and simple options are what I'm looking for.

Cheapest mods you could do to get more power is turning up the boost. You could make your own or buy one from Dawes http://www.dawesdevices.com for $35. Another cheap mod is an open element air filter, $20- $30 depends where you buy it from. You could adjust your timing but only do it if you have a light gun.Changing your oil to Redline or Royal Purple will help some, $5 a quart. You should also performe a tune up: wires, plugs, distributer cap-rotor, to restore any lost power due to wear. These mods should give you plenty of power to have fun with, around 25-30 more horses, later.

Thanks for the tips. Turning up the boost sounds like a plan, I'm a bit confused tho what tool do I need to turn up the boost and where is the adjuster at ?

On the factory boost control solenoid - I am no good at describing, but, it's got a red and black wire attached and bolts on the turbo - there is a nut, with a screw inside. Take the nut off, and turn the screw counter-clockwise a few turns. **-- ONLY DO THIS IF YOU HAVE A BOOST GUAGE!!!!--** If you blow up your engine don't come crying to me! Anyway, loosening that screw will allow you to make more boost.
