I don't believe its catastrophic, but on the 1993 turbo, the topmost line is a male threaded barb, which a female swivel fitting screws to. On the 1995 turbo, all the lines connect to the turbo with banjo bolts and copper gaskets, except the oil return line; that's a flange with gasket.
I believe you can just unscrew that male barb'd fitting, which will allow the banjo bolt to be used. As for the lines....I know on a 1993, the coolant feed line comes from the BACK of the head, under the intake manifold, where 1994+ coolant feed lines attach to the SIDE of the head, right by the throttle body. A 1993 oil drain line also won't match up with a 1994+ car. The drain is shifted over a couple inches on a 1993, and is a straight-shot downward on a 1994+.
