If you have a TII rear end, which it appears you do, it should.

Yes, it works.
You need to be able to adjust the ring to pinion contact patch.
If you have no idea what that is, take it to a drivetrain shop that can do this for you.

It'll fit either turbo.
It's a Torsen.
LSD's don't have ratios.

It bolts right in.
Don't be fooled though - with any LSD install, the ring and pinion has to be set correctly, and this isn't a job for a newbie.
If you don't set it right, you're going to end up destroying the entire differential.
