Hi Aaron,

Is it the ACV part that interferes with the Turbo? If I were to cut that part out and patch it up would I be able to mount the turbo using the stock turbo manifold?

Thanks

No, not easily at all. The NA intake is much larger. The upper intake is designed to bolt to the NA lower which sits basically at the level of the top of the engine. The TII lower sticks up 6" further.

Is it possible to adapt the Turbo LIM to the N/A UIM? I would want to keep most of the N/A parts.

Thanks

Thanks Aaron!

Even if you shave the lower NA intake manifold completely, there is still not enough room to mount the turbo without a spacer.

Either make a spacer to go between the manifold and turbo, engine and manifold, or make your own manifold.

You can also modify the TII lower intake to fit the NA block, which necessitates going to the TII upper as well.
