for 300whp(which by the sound of it is too much for you already) you'd need fully forged internals and about 18 psi... research first.

edited because i can't spell for sh*t.

You're going to need some enginework and some good tuning to hit 300 whp.

No idea on weight. Somewhere over 2400 lbs, and with a driver, probally closer to 2600.

To fix the window you'll need to remove the door panel, and put the window back in the track. I don't know exactly how to remove the panel on a car with power windows, but on my manual window car you need to remove the speaker, the three screws around it, the screw in the door pocket (the little handle looking thing) as well as the screw holding the door handle surround in and the clip holding the window crank on. Then you should just be able to pull the panel off. It's held on by little clips. Once that's off, you can pull back the plastic cover inside (be careful, that gray sticky crap is a bitch to get off) and you should see the window tracks. I want to say you can remove the bolts with a 10mm socket. Make sure to lube the tracks back up with some silicone lube spray and it should help prevent problems like that from happening agian.

It's the same for the power windows, minus the crank.

Oh and to add, since I guess you'll have the tweeter pods, it's a pain in the rear sometimes to get it out, just have to angle it around the pods.

Yeah, those little covers suck on the non-tweeter units too.

Oh yeah, a helpful hint for getting the door panels back on right. Slide the end that is closest to the front of the car down in the groove like it's supossed to be around the window and then fold the top of the panel down in the groove like it's supossed to be (similar to a Lamborghini door action).

That's the only way I've been able to get my door panels back in where they sit correctly and I've done it the better part of 110000000 times.

Actually I think if you port and polish the head, forged internals, and upgrade the valvetrain you can get 300 easily on a t3/t4 at 10-12# properly tuned.

...I know because I've seen this set up run on 9# of boost and it got 310fwhp

Rods aren't going to make it for long. Rods or rod bolts WILL snap that high.
