Alrighty Ted, now now.
Turbocharging an NA is not as easy as slapping the turbo on. However, per your question, yes the turbo manifold WILL bolt onto the NA, however the turbo will not clear the LIM.
This year I helped a friend turbo his NA. This is how we did it.
1) Stripped the N/A down to the block.
2) drilled an tapped the front cover for the turbo oil drain
3) bolted on an RE-Speed oil filter pedestal for oil supply
4) bought a 6 port turbo LIM (Japan2LA makes them), but you will have to make one since he only offers them for S5's
5) S5 turbo and manifold bolted on.
6) custom coolant lines for the turbo
7) turbo UIM, TB, and all sensors
8) rewired harness for the turbo ECU (easy)
9) no emissions were put back on
10) stock turbo plumbing and TMIC
11) stock throttle cable
12) RB downpipe to full RB exhaust
So basically, you have to replace EVERYTHING plus do some custom work. A few more bolts and we could have just removed the engine. At that point you might as well just swap in a TII.
But, let me ask you this, is the car worth all of this?? What is you location?? There is a super nice bone stock TII here near Nashville for under $4000. Arctic Silver too!!
