It's gonna take some work....quite a bit of it. The ports don't line up well, and the bolt holes are off. Remember that the 13B's housings are 10mm wider than a 12A's.

Plus, you're going to need turbo manifolds, as a 12A is a 4 port design.

you could always do some variation of this to save some money by using a throttle body off a mustang or something

I don't think those log style plenums work very well in n/a applications.

Also that throttle body you posted will only work with an IDA manifold.

The hosings are actually 10mm wider, two housings, so a total of 20mm overall.

There is a member on this board that is running a s4 turbo intake manifold setup on his 12a, cant remember his name, but I believe that there are adapters made to fit them. I would try to contact an aussie member as they have access to stuff like this,...
