Yes, it will work with some work and modifications, several others have done it with great results, the non turbo pieces are just a little longer and thinner than the turbo parts.

Can anyone elaborate on the modifications that were needed ?

I wonder why they make the lower grill section bigger on the turbo model? Just because you can make the non turbo part fit doesn't mean you should.

Well, the lower grille section of the turbos is larger due to the intercooler. I still dont know what modifications are needed tho...

Anyone done it ?

I've done it. The lower fascia isn't bigger on the turbo it just shaped differently. It's more rounded on the bottom than the NAs. (look at the lower area under the fog light openings and the lower grill is an insert rather than being molded). The only thing I didn't do was screw in the inner mounting tabs on the bottom under the intercooler. I didn't want to take a chance of the screws ever puncturing the intercooler if I scraped the nose.

Looks good on that red one. Is that stock height ? Ive been debating getting the kit, but Im not sure how it would look on my Dream Cruiser.

Also, how do the sides mount ? What kind of support do they have ?

The bottom grill openings are bigger. I've had both cars. The openings are bigger for the intercooler. Probably won't hurt the daily driver, but if you are going to up the boost and run more hp I wouldn't do it. The stock intercooler isn't exactly the best out there either.

Funny thing is, I used to have an 87 Lebaron GTS 4 door sedan, turbo charged. It was the smaller turbo, the 2.2. That car was nasty, and it didnt have an air to air cooler. I went through two turbo units because it blew the seals out. The last run I had in the car, i had put the wrong octane fuel in the car because someone told me that their fuel at a gas station was 89 and it wasnt, so i was racin this chevy pickup and it blew up. I won the race, but lost the engine. It had 210,xxx miles on it when it went up tho.

To clear up any confusion I'm not talking about the overall size just the hole sizes.
