I believe it's turbo. However the pipe going to the sat appears to be too far to the left. Thought that this ran more central?

Is that it or is there something else?

of course it go's over the subframe.

The flexi sections on the NA's, after it has gone over the subframe are about 3" shorter than the turbo. So you could make it work. Just a little chopping/welding.

is it only the n/a which has a standard pipe/cat inbetween the the exhaust?

i know it could fit, but with modification, some of the flanges are downsized from 3" to 2.5", so that would need changed back to 3".

I did this for someone a few years back.. Any help?

The important thing is if it has a 'rounded triangle' 3 bolt flange for the downpipe. If it has that you can probably get a De-cat for a NA and make it fit.
