The Haynes maual will tell you how to ID these parts, the Bentley manual will tell you that, and how to repair or replace them.As a 17 wear old car, there is better than 50/50 chance hte engine or trans is not original anyway.
Chances are not a TDI, so 80 HP should be about right.
Try a search for 'Governor Mod' :D
