Red face Come on guys, I need some answers =/

Okay, I need answers from people who have done this themselfs. Will a S4 Turbo II Rear End Assembly hook up perfectly into a S5 GXL Body??? If you dont know what I mean when I say Assembly, this should include, LSD, Halfshafts, Housing, and axles...I need an answer from som1 who has done this swap...If you havnt already guessed im in the middle of doing a S5 GXL to a S5 Turbo II swap...

Yes, but a Turbo rear end requires a Turbo driveshaft as well

if it's off of a parts car then you might as well drop the whole subframe and put that on the GXl. Like mark said you'll need a TII driveshaft and tranny (which means you'll need TII clutch & flywheel)

Well, you will either need a turbo driveshaft and tranny or you can get a custom made driveshaft to fit the turbo diff to the NA tranny. Mazdatrix has them pre-made for a substantial hunk of change.

I have already swaped my motor with a JDM S5 Turbo II motor and trans...I already have the Turbo II driveshaft but now all i have left is the rear end assembly...hah...The only reason im asking is because i've heard some people say puting a S4 rear end into a S5 body is a realy tight fit...=/
