The turbo ones are approximately 30mm longer.

People shorten them for a variety reasons, the most common being to get clearance to put the later gearbox into a chassis that predates the G50s. For a 930 or 915 to G50 swap.

Would any one know what grade of steel the main shaft is made from ? need to get the correct welding rods before starting to modify my shaft.
