is there a difference between the turbo and n/a radiators?
if so, what?

Yep,
And if you're asking about your impreza, more details would help and you also should put it in the not exactly SVX area.
Also, yes, turbo radiators are different than the n/a versions.

actually served dual purpose,

A) if i turbo my svx do i need to swap rads
b) i think my v5 sti swapped impreza wagon is running an NA rad,

I was just wondering what the difference is and is it ok to run an NA rad on a turbo car

There's no such thing as a "turbo rad", you just have to keep in mind that a turbocharged engine can generate a lot more heat and needs cooling capacity to match. An STi being driven hard will make a lot more heat than any Impreza, but if you're not on the track and not seeing the gauge reading higher than it should there shouldn't be any cause for concern.

A PWR (if you can find one) or other decent aluminium rad should be more than adequate for a boosted SVX.

Very true.
I was inferring that he was asking about a difference between what would be equipped on his swapped car.

Chris is right in that any radiator will work. They're all still doing the same thing no matter if the car is supercharged, turbocharged or not.
