Langley,
Right now, I have a 93 Laser NA 5-speed and I may be able to get a cheap scrap car which is a 92 Talon 5-speed, not sure if it is turbo or NA. I want to know what parts, beside the obvious exterior or interior pieces, can I use whether it is a turbo or NA? I was thinking of buying it and either building up the engine and do a swap or do a rebuilt tranny swap from the scrapper to mine. What parts, fuel pump(difference between NA and turbo), fuel injectors, engine parts, tranny parts can i swap to my car?
 
I if I were you and you could pick up the car for a good price, I would do it. I have two 95's, one serves as my own personal junk yard for the other, you could do the same. Then once you are done making one really good DSM you can part out w/e is left from the other.
So look at it like this, there is a slim chance you will have to buy parts to fix you DSM if you have another, (you will be saving money) and then you can part out w/e is left ( you will be making money). The way I see it parts cars are nothing, but a win win situation.
Now, engine wise. Some of the differences between a turbo and an N/t motor are definitely the turbo and cams. I can think of others but I am not sure enough to name them.
I believe those two engines are different, at least I know they are on turbo cars, one is a 1G 6 bolt (92), the other is a 1G 7 bolt (93). But since there are both 1G engines there are whole bunches of interchangeable parts on them.
I would buy the parts car.
