Who knows how and if it would work to use a turbo MAF on a non-turbo Talon?

My Talon has gone through a few MAFs, and none of them worked, but I have a spare turbo MAF and 2g turbo MAF. Is their any way I can use those?

Please respond asap, my car thinks its at 100% throttle at idle! My gas mileage is horrid.
 
Your car's TPS is probably not hooked up or toast. TPS = throttle position sensor. It has nothing to do with your MAF. But if you have a Haynes manual, it has the diagram of the MAS wiring.
 
Well we logged it, and the MAF is for sure bad.

Today I replaced the O2 and cleaned everything up, then I checked the coolant temp sensor wire for power, none. i figure it broke right where they usually do, no not the case. So I start going through the harness. Nothing wrong that I can see. I've decided to just replace the wire, and if that doesn't do it, replace the ECU. But after i did all this i developed some sort of misfire. When I give it gas it stutters, and it sounds like its running on 2 or 3 cylinders. It chugs hard at idle. wtf?
