Throttle body question

My N/A throttle body fits on the TII upper intake. Is there anything wrong with using it on a turbo motor? I have a Haltech so the TPS location won't be a problem. Is there anything preventing me from using the N/A throttle body? I don't have a TII one here to compare them.

Thanks

When you do put the n/a on the turbo manifold....does that not put your throttle cable linkage to the front of the car instead of the firewall side???? And when you do that, isn't the casting that bolts up to the intake(the piece where the intercooler hose connects to the throttle) now upside down????? Therefore you cannot now use that casting and will have to make a repalacement part????? In other words....the intercooler hose won't connect to the throttle body since you've rotated the casting that attaches to the opening on the throttle body 180 degrees.

Have fun routing that throttle cable to the front.
