tII throttle body elbow on N/A throttle body??? s4

will it bolt on???
my 6 port is in need of a new elbow since im using plumbing parts to connect my IC piping to the N/A plastic elbow....it likes to pop off from time to time and i wonder if this will work so i can get rid of the plumbin parts and go with silicone and clampit good with T- clamps and be done with it...

it should, the n/a elbow bolts onto the turbo tb

after holding it my hand... it might be backwards

unless the n/a tb has the triangle pointing up. It's gonna be backwards... i think... I went outside to double check, but couldn't find my n/a tb.

You could get one of those $100 aftermarket elbows, then the inlet will be pointing toward the fender.

if you put an NA elbow on a turbo, it faces forward. so it is backwards. i have seen it. sc0rp7 put his NA elbow on his Spiff new TII and it faces forward, it is LITERALLY the same throttle body flipped over, so the bottom points up. the turbo elbow will point backwards on an NA or a turbo, just on the other side of the engine bay. but... the turbo elbow is a hell of a lot smaller at the opening. 2" turbo, 3" NA...
