Can't use the N/A rear end without a custom drive shaft.

Remember you will need a Turbo Flywheel, clutch, clutch slave and Turbo starter ( as well as pedals, etc).

The auto drive shaft is about an inch too short, but has the correct ends

The 5 speed non turbo drive shaft is the right length, but the tranny end does not match up to the Turbo tranny.

the 5 speed Turbo drive shaft is the right length, but the differential end does not match up to the non turbo rear end.
