My 87 was an N/A with sport package and it came with a 3.90 LSD. Some N/A's came with wings too.


all N/A's had 4.30 differentials, whether they were open or LSD's..

My girl's 86.5 had the sports package (targa as well), and it has a 4.30 LSD, my 89 came with the 4.30 LSD as well, but as a stand-alone option..

I believe my 92 has an open diff, but I have to jack it up and check (not too concerned either to be honest, it's my stock daily driver)...


89+ N/A's could be ordered with a wing that was a completely different design from 87/88 wings or 89+ 3 pieces. They were 1 piece wings with an LED brake light, they look pretty stylish, there used to be a green MKIII with it around my parents' house, but I havent seen him in a while..

Correct, you CANNOT use the NA ecu on a turbo car b/c it does not have the proper fuel/ignition maps for the gte to run properly. You will need the turbo ecu, turbo harness, complete engine and transmission assembly, front half of driveshaft, pedals if you are putting a manual tranny into an automatic chassis. You will also need the proper speedo cable (auto and manual are different) and also the tach from the turbo. Oh yea and a brain :D.

Also, if you use the 4.3 diff, your spedo will be off set. There is a way to fix that, but i am not sure what that is. City driving is fine, but highway driving is not too gas friendly. The pros out do the cons for me, so i stuck with the 4.3. for 1/4 mile runs, it's def worth while.
