I can look tomorrow, it is too dark and cold right now.

I can't find anything from searching, but I will list what I can see comparing the throttle body attached to a T2 manifold to the throttle body still attached on my running car (both S4).

Short answer:
No.

Long answer:
Yes, if you are willing to move a lot of things around. The T2 is mounted upside-down from the S4, so that means that a lot of the sensors are mounted in different locations. The biggest issue will be the idle adjust screw, I don't think that it will close all the way. You may still be able to adjust the BAC screw until everything works.

If you have the parts from the turbo TB then you can swap them over to the NA TB and probably be ok, but I am guessing that the actual TB is not bent, but rather some linkage or sensors is.

It is worth giving a try, worst case scenario is that you have to buy a new T2 throttle body, which is what you have to do now.

I hope this helps.

yes I have that setup right now.
you use the short NA TB cable.
The link to the OMP is upside down, so premix time
and adjusting the idle involves pulling the manifold off.

unless your engine is stripped down, its a tuning nightmare.
