S5 Differential question

I pulled this from a S5 T2 car last week hoping to put the Torsen diff in it. However, the bearings seem larger on the diff, and the axle stubs are not thick enough for the torsen. I aquired this from a friend when he passed on so I know little about it. Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris

Im pretty sure its only the NA diff thats upgradeable to the torsen diff from the miata unless you get the diff from an FD. I forget though.

Scatch this question. Pulled the LSD out and it is a NA. Dewd swapped a N/A 6" diff into a T2.

You going to do the gears too? You should since you'll be re-shimming and everything... no reason to go to the bathroom and take half a dump.
