Not to sound sarcastic, but this is one of those "if you have to ask, you shouldnt be doing it" questions.

There is no possible way that a turbo upper intake bolts to an NA lower intake. The upper would wind up hitting the block and wouldn't come within 4" of seating on the lower.

The turbo engine sits the upper intake about 1" above the block. The turbo lower intake is about 8" taller than the block. This means that the turbo upper intake drops down about 6-7 inches.

The NA lower intake sits basically level with the block. Explain to me where that extra 6-7 inches of turbo intake is going to fit?

ive seen it done, and i want to reduce the intake run for more h/p i know i will lose torque, but that i can deal with, i want to push the stock port n/a as far as possible. and this is a much better alterative to compleatly fabricating an intake.
now i am about 99% sure you cant slap a t2 upper and lower on right? i could be wrong though.
and in responce to tybalt, i have not actually held a t2 manifold, so i am asking because i have no other way to tell.

I can assure you that the only way you've "seen it done" is with a t2 upper AND lower. There's no way to mate the NA and t2 intake setups.

which is why I said if you have to ask you shouldnt even try, because its not possible

sorry if I sounded like an ***, but..its just not possible.

you might as well just make an intake manifold from scratch...
