If it does fit, is there anything special that needs to be done to complete the swap?
Thanks

It doesn't have the required internal reinforcements to not self destruct under the higher loads of the Turbo engines....
It will physically fit... but it will have a short lifespan. Thats why this swap is not recomended.
