Yes you can. You will need the proper rear counter weight for YOUR motor.
Oh yea, and it is larger than the naturally asspirated flywheel. So you will also need the turbo tranny, the turbo starter, and the turbo drive shaft because the spline count on the out put shaft is diferrent than the n/a tranny.
Now since you need the turbo tranny to fit over the turbo flywheel you will also need the turbo clutch disc because the spline count on the input shaft is also differret. Being that the flywheel and the clutch disc are larger (240mm vs. 225mm) than the n/a you also need the pressure plate. Might as well do the release bearing as well.
So yes you can put an aftermarket turbo flywheel on your n/a. But if your unltimate goal for the car does not involve the instalation of the turbo tranny it's probably more economic to just buy a new one intended for use on your n/a.
This write up is intended to inform you, not to insult you. I hate when people give half-assed advice, or wrong advice all to gether. So I hope this helps to enlighten you.

But if you step back and take a look at the question, you will be able to see that this guy probably doesn't have any idea as to the signifigance of your ansewer. Mabey if the question were "What are the differrences..."
So chill out man!!!

The turbo and non turbo pinion flanges are different too, so the driveshaft would have to be modified, or I have read an automatic one works.
I think Kevin Landers said it does, and I'm inclined to believe him.
