Still no, the layout of the intake ports between 6-port n/a and 4-port turbo blocks is very different.

but the center and rear dont have to be turbo, that makes no sense to me. does anyone have a pic showing the difference between a turbo block and an NA block so ican see how different the intake ports that the manifolds hook up to are? i thought that the turbo manifolds bolted up to an na block, besides a little dremmel work of course

You will need to swap the exhaust sleeves of the housings.

And I am pretty sure you will also need to drill out the freeze plug(s) for the turbo line.

thankyou that helps alot. but based of those gaskets it looks like you would have to change the front and the rear iron not just the front like someone earlier in the thred said.

You could grind out the diffuser, but its a pita. Changing out the sleeves is a little less annoying and the correct way to do things.
