Can I use a N/T throttlebody on a turbo car

[RocCitySlayer]

Right now im running a 1g turbo TB. Im pretty sure that its the main source of my problems. I was wondering if I absolutely need another turbo one or will a N/T work? If so is there any mods I need to do or anything?

Iv already rebuilt it with new seals and all that but I thimk im going to try a different one from the scrapyard

Yes, you can. You'd just need a coupler instead of a bolt-on elbow.

You need a 1g N/T 4g63 Throttle body just to clarify. Don't want people going out and buying 420a Tb's.

ok thanks guys
Is there a place I can buy the coupler Id need?

Did you even try to look for one...?

Wasn't sure if it could be any coupler or a specific one.

Anywhere they sell couplers.... I'm using a 90 degree silicone coupler.

Also, the shaft seals on the NT throttle body are plastic, you'll need to find some rubber O-rings to replace them. I can't remember the size, but old thread somewhere on here that mentions the exact size.

You can rebuild with any shaft seals that are meant for a turbo throttle body. They all fit - some just take a bit more effort than others.
