No they are not. And good luck finding one. You sure your car isn't a 91?

I looked at adding the 91 front bumper to my 90 non-turbo, and I'm sure it can be done. The front bumper beam support and foam is slightly different, but can probably be made to work.

The n/a bumper cover looks more like "Cleatus" sp? haha. The turbo pumper comes down a little further, and turn signal lights are bigger, and clear...
See this thread

Damn, I didn't realize they were that different, no wonder I always thought turbos looked so much better.

Just for everyone's information who isn't sure. The bumper skin from a 91 turbo fits a 90 non turbo but you have to leave the foam off. But I will tell you good luck finding a new one. I just got lucky and my buddy gave me his off his SS. Jake15 with the red sti swapped sedan.

fwiw I have swapped front ends a few times with my 92 wagon and you can make it fit with very little work. I did some mix n match with bumpers, hoods, lights and fenders
