Turbo rear end or not???

Turbo rear end or not???
I have a rear end from a wrecking yard that is marked as a 87 turbo rear end, but the driveshaft that I thought was turbo doesn't line up. I don't know for certain that the driveshaft is a turbo driveshaft, so is there any way I can identify if it is a turbo rear end or not? The half shafts or any physical markings or shapes? Thanks.

The turbo trans/ differential pumpkin are beefier & are ribbed for her pleasure.
The TII bolt patterns are also larger. IS the car 5-lug? If it is, it's more likely to have a TII one,
through a conversion CAN be done.

i guess first thing would be to make sure it is a LSD. I have a TII rearend sitting out in the garage, i can get measurements and pictures if you'd like something for comparison

Thanks for the help everyone. It must not be turbo, because I got it up on jack stands and spun one wheel. The other wheel moved in the opposite direction. My understanding is that alone lets me know it isn't a LSD and therefore not a turbo rearend. Oh well. The search continues.

If the other wheel moved the opposite direction, the clutch pack is probably worn out.

Since this topic is about FC differentials I figure ill ask here instead of making a new topic.
Does the S5 convertibles come with a open or limited slip rear end? Its an A-Spec car with n/a engine. Im going to look at it for a second 7 this coming week and wasn't sure.
