You will need the Turbo2 rear axles, as well as the driveshaft and transmission (flywheel and stater) for everything to bolt up correctly. This is unless you want to re-drill the flange of your N/A driveshaft. You will still need the axles though.

Just check the section on the diff. You'll see pinion flange different bolt pattern (larger), carrier larger, and you'll need the turbo axles also.

If you can pull the axles out, look through the holes in the diff where the axles were. If you can see straight through, its LSD. If there is a small piece of metal bar going across the center, its an open diff.

There should be a metal tag on the fill plug on the diff that says lsd fluid only of something like that.

Yea I noticed the other day that there is a metal tag that tells you to use LSD fluid only. Let me see if I can get a good pic of it...

The tag is held on by the filler bolt/plug, but can be easily removed/lost when that bolt is off.

Drop a patch of rubber. If you have two lines the same size its LSD if one is larger or only one its open.
