If it is an original S radiator in that 93 it will have a little bit less cooling effect on the engine compared to a real Turbo radiator due to less amount of channels in the core.
Someone might have already replaced that radiator and installed a turbo in it (that's what I do since the price is the same) and if so you are good to go.
If you are only looking for a temporary fix and you are not planning to push the turbo engine too hard, you might be able to use the non turbo radiator if it is in good condition.
I have seen a couple of turbo cars where a less knowlegable mechanic installed non turbo radiators and it ran ok. But you are pushing it if the rest of the cooling system is not up to snuff.
