I do not think so, clutch sizes are different. Most likely a way to modify to fit though. Different driveshaft too I beleive.

You can bolt it on yes. But the drive shaft is not the same because they are different lengths so you will need either a custom drive shaft or an Auto tranny drive shaft. I beleive you have to keep the flywheel/clutch the same as the engine. BTW I have an auto drive shaft for sale PM me for details.

You would need a turbo starter, halfbreed driveshaft, and the turbo transmission mount. Thats not counting the flywheel/pressure plates parts.

EDIT: and not counting the trubo slave cylinder.

I think that the contact area is of a different size for n/a and turbo. This is why you have to have a turbo flywheel for a turbo tranny.

When I was doing my tranny swap I read that you keep the flywheel the same, try searching for it.

Is there a noticable difference with a light weight flywheel or are you better off investing the money in something else to give you power?

I was most likely wrong about the flywheel.
