No.... I believe the N/A manual trannys were all the same with the exception of the 5th gear on the GTUs which was tighter. You can use the N/A tranny, it just won't take much more than stock boost without crappin out, and the clutch is small and cant hold like the T2 stuff.

A TII makes the TII swap easier. 
A TII is only $500-1,000 more than a non-turbo of the same year and condition. The insurance is the same, and the rated gas mileage is only about 1 mpg different. If you want a TII, then just buy one.
To answer your question about the drivetrain, every single major component of the drivetrain is different between the GTU and TII. This includes the clutch slave cylinder, clutch assembly, flywheel, transmission, starter, driveshaft, differential, and halfshafts.

yeah, nothing in the N/A drivetrain can stand up to a turbo for long, if at all.
also, if you're talking about an s5 GTU, then that's the base model and shares basically nothing with the TII.
