at the moment my sport has a stainless half scorpian system that i took of an mtek 1 sport, is it technically the rite exhaust for my car as i know after 87 the 2.5 m20 had a slightly different compression ratio?

allso i am looking in to a few more mods like induction kit, 6 branch stainless, mayb a bb throttle body and a chip

with all these mods what sort of power output will i be looking at providing my engine is a reasonable lump 2 start with (hopfully)

any help appreciated

If your standard lump is producing anywhere near the original 171bhp then you'll probably ad somewhere near 10-15bhp depending on how it's all set up. Don't be put off by what seems like only a small increase in max bhp, you'll get much, much better real world driveability - sharper response, quicker to rev, faster acceleration, etc. and you'll enjoy your Sport that much more, if that's possible!!
