The turbo TB's have a flat face for the elbow to mount to. The NT ones have a piece extending that youd clamp the intake pipe directly on to.

1st NT, 2nd Turbo

I think before you make anymore posts you need to read the rules.
I think I know what you are asking so here goes......The non-Turbo throttle body is much bigger and will work, it is a much larger diameter. Lots of people run them(myself included)they are a good alternative to getting a larger throttle body elbow. Also there is a little lip on it so your "set up" won't keep "coming off." As far as where you can "Fain"( "Find" for those who speak english) check your local junk yard.....
 
yea tha n/t has a snout so theres no elbow so it blows harder i tried to get a pic but cant find 1
 
1g non turbo TB's dont have elbos like the turbo TB's.
You have to use a coupler.
I did the swap on my 2g with a 1g non turbo TB.
The coupler I used was smaller than the TB so I had to force it over with lube and it has been staying on just fine.
 
my bad on the english but i have an intke pipe on there but hte pressure keeps pushing it off so i was looking for the best set up so i can run it hard again and how much it would cost
 
Is there a bead around the edge of the pipe your using to keep the coupler from blowing off? Look at the NT TB pic and you can see a bead around the edge. You can have one rolled the edges of your pipe or weld a bead around it. Cost will vary. Other wise get some intoer cooler piping off ebay or something.
 
yea but problem is the intake pipe keeps coming off the couplers and i cant run it hard if i get intercooler piping will it reach up to the tb and will i have to get another intercooler
 
You could get an UICP (upper inter cooler pipe) off ebay and then a 90 degree coupler to connect the two. Use t-bolt clamps as well.

And the reason for the bead is to keep the coupler from sliding off. If your using a generic intake pipe it wont have the bead, so thats probably why its slipping off.
