Questions about compatibility.

I don’t have any direct experience but based on research for my project you need the exhaust manifold for an nb engine and a custom cat pipe to connect the turbo outlet to the NA exhaust. The NB exhaust can’t be used as is because the exhaust hangers on the nb are in different locations than the NA8.
many turbo kits have options including an NA chassis with NB motor
Typically the ecu needs to match the chassis
i suggest reading as many build threads as possible to help you understand what is involved. Also read the definitive vvt swap thread that is stickied in the engine performance section, there is a lot of valuable information about swapping a nb motor into a NA chassis
good luck

I had a kraken hotside when i moved to nb2 engine, I had to notch the frame rail slightly for contact with the compressor housing and beat a small channel for the steering shaft into the downpipe.
1.8s are roughly 10mm wider on both sides is what I was told someday somewhere. If you have the option between na8/nb, I'd take an na8 setup or see if you can get a 1.6 exhaust fitted to nb manifold/downpipe.
