n/a box will die if you run the turbo motor. best option is to source an lsd either from japan (second-hand) or possible via NZ - i may be able to help you out.
new lsd will set you back about $1200-1800
how are you sure you have a factory lsd with your n/a box by the way? i had a look at an aussie gt rrecently which the owner was certain had an lsd - but it did not.

The syncro's are pretty crap in the early turbo boxes.
Without LSD an MR2 still has considerably more traction than many other cars, so whilst it would obviously be better with the LSD, don't think it will be crap without.
It is this great traction that is the main reasons the gearboxes die. (or abuse)
I have often thought that if you had both boxes side by side, you could see if the lsd was interchangable, best way may be to start by seeing if aftermarket available lsd's share common part numbers, and if so try to swap yours. I really don't know how that would go though.

s and e series lsd units will not interchange -i can tell you that!
good synthetic oil does wonders for any transaxle too (castrol syntrans)

"japandy" on e-bay has a sw20 gt lsd for sale right now (he seems to get them all the time) unit has apparently had 1 month of use.
bidding was at ~$US100 when i looked.
