997 turbo with frontal damage, rebuild question

[oz 930 turbo]

Hi all
Quick question, I have the opportunity to pick up a very low mileage 997 turbo that has frontal collision, nothing to major, I'm just considering a couple of options.
If I find a standard 997 front cut, is this comparable with a 997 turbo? Apart from brakes and suspension are there any differences between the too?

Cheers

I think if you check the PET, the turbo front end consists of several part numbers that are different from the normally aspirated cars, so if you put the wrong nose on it, you will be defeating the resale value as anyone knowledgeable will know the car has been hit.
