It's an NA. It will be purely cosmetic, you won't gain anything from an intake.

The angle off of the turbo airbox will be totally wrong for the pipe between the MAF and the throttle body on a N/A. The PCV line will also not fit properly. The same thing applies for going between a N/A and a turbo.
You can do pretty much anything you want to do before the MAF sensor but beyond that you are stuck with the geometry of things to make them hook back up.
The turbo MAF aims back towards the turbo (the firewall) while the N/A cars it comes across more parallel to the block. I suppose you could modify a hose to get there but why?

Other than drugs I have no idea why anyone would think the stock plastic top of the air cleaner off a turbo would make any improvement to a non turbo. If anything it's just a hassle to try and modify the plumbing to get it hooked up to the throttle body because it's pointed in the wrong direction.
As for the K&N Volvo 850 intake, it's a joke. It's mostly just thin flexible plastic tubing like a dryer duct. The cone filter is the only part of the kit that's quality and you can buy the filter separately and purchase ducting cheaper if you have a little skill to fit it.
