dss axles for the FWD cars are junk. I broke 3 of them with my N/A Neon. For axles use good OEM axles and get someone to rebuild them (not with Chinese parts).
As far as the side gears go. I would not invest a lot of money in them. The 1.05's from the mini vans. should be just what you need along with a 3.05 ring and pinion.
The 1.22 (racing or 79 Omni) side gears go for about $400 and are very hard to find. I just sold the last 2 I had A few months ago.
For the Turbo car a 3.23 final drive should be fine.
