Okay, I'm sure it's a turbo trans cause of the drain and fill positions.
I believe the non-turbo trans has different drain and fill plugs.
Pop the transmission off and look at the clutch.
The turbo trans uses a 1" input shaft, and the non-turbo uses a 7/8" input shaft.
The clutches are totally different looking also - the turbo flywheel uses a "flat face" to mate with the pressure plate; the non-turbo uses "raised pedestals" to mount the pressure plate.
And, just to throw another wrench in your theory, I've seen - with my own eyes - smooth case turbo transmissions that come in with J-spec engines.
So, in Japan, not all turbo 5-speed manual transmissions are "ribbed".
Hard to tell what LSD is in there, but a quickie test is to spin one side and check which way the other side rotates.
If they rotate in the same direction, it's a clutch-type.
If the other side doesn't spin, it's either a viscous-type or a dead clutch-type - you really don't want either.
If the other side spins the other way, there is no LSD in it.

hm. isn't the turbo tranny a lil shorter or something like that too? popping the tranny off would be quite a bit of work, since it's not on a hoist and stuff heh...
what type of diff won't matter i'm going with a 1.5 or 2way, i just gotta make sure i have a turbo diff to know which to order. The diff right now in the car is as good as useless, cuz it clinks aroudn...
