you can see here a lock up solanoide on the bell housing where the converter would sit.
That makes it a non turbo box.

Any internal differences??

Yeah i figured that much, just wanted to know exactly, incase its just a case of get the N/A one built to suit and all will be well, or if its not worth doing and just look for a turbo one, and get that built.
Cheers.
