92 n/a difference from 92 turbo!

Well, I like to do canyon runs and from what I know, mr2 are spin happy because of the mid engine and strog oversteer.(feel free to correct me if i am wrong) My 5th gen celica won't hack it because FF 3sgte w/ lsd (yeah i swapped) will understeer. Im getting very serious about doing canyon runs and at high speeds I will understeer with my celica. Now, there is an n/a with turbo swap selling for cheap. If motor blows, i can take mine out (from celica) and put it in.

Well, here are a couple of my questions.

*Besides the 3sgte motor, ecu and harness.

From what i know the differences are:
1)sway bars (n/a are thinner right?)
2)brakes (n/a has smaller brake assembly right?-rotors, brake calipers etc)
3)suspension. (Can I buy mr2 turbo suspension for the n/a? well, will it bolt on?)
4)Axles.
4a.are n/a axles as thick as lsd axles? are they as thick as non lsd axles with 3sgte
motor?
4b.will n/a axles work with the e-153 lsd tranny?
4c.will the axles with 3sgte motor, non lsd work with the lsd transmission? does it fit

well, give me any suggestions. tell me how and why i shouldn't buy? any information will be considered.

1. I'm not aware of any difference in sway bars
2. Only the front brakes are different
3. The suspensions are the same
4. Did the person who did the swap really use the NA tranny with the 3SGTE?
If you get the LSD tranny, you will need the LSD axles (at the very least you need the inner stubs that go into the LSD).

You know what, I don't know what tranny he used. I have the lsd tranny thats why I ask the questions about the axles. Thanks for clearing things up for me. The car was online and it was probably a scam. It was one of those, "Im in another state so I can't hand it to you personally". Even though it was through ebay, it doesn't seem safe to me. Thanks for the help.
