well, not exactly. if it comes with the transmission you'll need to buy a TURBO clutch as well.
however the stipulation is if you use the transmission, you'll also have to use the TURBO driveshaft, TURBO rearend, and TURBO halfshafts, so it adds up quickly.
you could always use your NON TURBO transmission and everything else (driveshaft, diff, halfshafts, etc) but you'd have to buy a pretty heavy duty NONTURBO clutch. just some food for thought.
