Why do you want a turbo differential? Of course for the limited slip, but some 88 n/a diffs are stock lsd. Are you going to upgrade your powertrain? And if so, to what? N/a lsd is more than capable for a modified n/a
You will need:
Turbo axles (150.00)
Custom driveshaft from n/a tranny to t2 rearend (350.00}
Imo its worthless to get a turbo rearend when you can get a n/a lsd from a 1988. look into shimming a lsd, it will work wonders

No thats not the reason. I recently got an old car of mine back but it has a bad rear diff in it. Its bad. I dont have a spare na rear end. I do have a complete t2 car with no motor. So I was seeing how to put that diff in so I dont have to spend money to get another na one. Has any tried to use a auto na shaft. I heard that will work?

yes but if you dont need to to replace your. tranny/ flywheel/ drivshaft.. just open the holes on the na driveshaft the na mounting holes are smaller than that on a turbo diff so open them towards the outside edges you can make this work.. durring my build i swapped in a whole s5 turbo subframe diff and all not relizeing it wouldnt work. so when i went to put up all my na tranny and drivshaft it didnt line up i was told my a buddy just to wollow out the holes a touch. works great!! im telling u.. no money spent on any custom drivshaft or removing flywheels.

I have done the "drill the holes" thing when going turbo trans to n/a rear.. But never the other way around... When going from turbo trans to non turbo rear I had to extend the holes toward the outside of the flange.. My assumption would be that to go N/A to Turbo rear your would do the opposite... (but my memory may be a little foggy as I did it 8 years ago.)
Place the driveshaft on the center spline and mark the holes with a paint pen...
But the right way is to buy a new shaft. And the bonus about buying a new shaft is you can then change U joints as needed.
