using T2 housings on a N/A
So I'm about to start my first full engine build, and im looking into buying some housing and rotors. I have heard you can use the T2 housings on a NA the only difference is the "wings or baffles" inside the exhaust port. What are the pros and cons of using T2 housings? And will all the N/A hardware bolt up an have all the proper bolt holes and what not or will stuff need to be tapped or what?
I'm planning on building this engine for a beginner drift car, and I will be doing the large street port for the 6 port and the large exhaust port from pinapple racing.

Just so you know... the N/A is louder with the T2 housings, due to the elimination of the diffuser/splitter. With a decent exhaust, you won't notice it, but if you happen to run it uncorked... holy hell!!!

confused, don't you LIM gasket? the n/a's had no coolant ports so when you bolt the LIM to the block the passages are blocked. the only reason to use the freeze plugs in the turbo housings is to eliminate the possibility of coolant leaking by the gasket if you don't use the o-rings and sealant.
since 19mm freeze plugs aren't always easy to find a rubber cork can also be used.

Are the exhaust ports the same size or different between the two being stock.

either install a screw into the roll pins and pull them out or dab on a spot weld onto each end and pull them out with vice grips.
installation is as easy and setting the sleeve in the housing and hammer the pins back in. remove the sleeve spacers for the TII sleeves, they're only required for the non turbo sleeves. i don't suggest drilling them out because the pins can become loose and the sleeves can wobble and warp if they do.

Too old for this
Cutting out the baffles in the sleeves seems like an easy task, but those damn things are made of kryptonite or something. I've started trying to cut one out, but soon gave up and bought TII housings instead. To block the coolant ports, I went super ghetto for some reason and JB welded pennies into the holes. Now I seem to have a very slow seepage of coolant through the paper gasket. No danger to anything as far as I know, just a little mess and a reminder of what happens when I don't do things the right way the first time.
