Turbo clearing intake manifold

Turbo clearing intake manifold
I have been wondering about this for a wile, and have search a couple time, and came up with nothing. Basicly, I want to know if trimming the lower intake manifold of a n/a would give a noticable amount of clearance when doing a turbo six port setup.
I stold this pic from aaroncake
would doing this allow you to not have to make a spacer for the turbo manifold? Maybe at least make a shorter spacer?

ted, you are about 75% helpful and 25% one liner garbage.
anyway, most of that area is just an emply void. only one or two small vaccume ports, and the ports in the lower corners that let in exhaust gas in need to be plugged. I have also done this with a spare intake manifold i had. BUT lack an extra motor for mockup. Sure, I could go pull my intake real quick, but maybe someone here already knows?

If you had pics of the necessary work done (if any, but IIRC most do) to accommodate the 5th/6th ports (ie port matching) that would be most beneficial to the OP IMO in the interests of fitting a t2 intake to the N/A block.

I think a stock turbo will have the compressor hit the intake runner even with it modified like that. You could possibly use longer studs and 1 flange to space it far enough or go aftermarket turbo.

Anyway, even with a totally shaved S4 lower intake, the turbo will not clear. Both the compressor and turbine housing still bump into the intake. You can get away with a smaller spacer however, and you will need less of a frame notch if you intend on keeping the wastegate actuator in the stock location.
