S5 vLSD Question!

Does anyone know if the LSD carrier in the Turbo II and the GTUs are the same?

I'm wondering if the half-shafts are interchangable.

If anyone has access to part sheets or anything, see if the LSD for the S5 GTUs and the S5 Turbo II is the same?

So the GTU would have a faster acceleration than the Turbo, correct? If they both had the same power...
