GLT vs. T5 vs T5R?? 850

Sorry for the simple question. I'm a newbie. I think I want a 95 through 97 850 T5, but I wanted to understand the differences a little better. What are the differences in engines, compression ratios, total boost, engine size, horsepower, etc.? For example, if the t5 is just a GLT engine running a little more boost, it would seem to make sense to buy a GLT (having run its whole life at a lower boost level and just turn up the squeeze a little, right?)

I want a fun highway car that is fairly comfortable but fast. What are the differences in suspensions and brakes between each of the GLT, t5 and t5R?

Finally, anybody know the general weight of each in sedan and wagon?

Is there a turbo and a T5? are they 2 different models or the same?

Thank you very much!
