Hey, are there any differences between the S4 na block and S4 turbo block. Can you just switch out the manifolds and electronics. The car I am buying has an Na engine in it now but the manifold for the turbo is still on there just blocked off and the electronics are still in there. I think he swapped in an 88 na engine and just put the old turbo manifolds on, also some of the electronics are still around just not connected.

sorry didnt fully explain I have yet to confirm the 6th ports but the engine is from a 88 gxl I think so I assume it has 6 ports. I guess its kinda hard to explain maybe ill take some picks once i get the car in. In the case that it does have 6 ports that pretty much solves my questions, totally forgot about that

In order for the stock turbo manifold to clear the N/A intake manifold, you will either need to get a set of Tii manifolds, and port match the LIM to the N/A LIM gasket.
OR
Put a spacer on the stock turbo manifold.
OR
Just buy an FD manifold, drill out the bolt holes a bit. (aftermarket turbo/wastegate reqd)

the aux ports are only on the intake...
so where do they take in air?
