I could find out, but I think dimentionally they are the same, but the internal baffeling for the crankcase vent is not.

I would have to agree, the baffles are abit diffrent on the turbo models. but either will work on either engine.

I like the barb type breather thingy on a NA covers. The turbos are just slip on. Less oil leak. Im worried though that the turbo might suck a lot more oil with the NA baffles than the turbo baffles.
