You can have a plug turbo button on an MT12 3 ports. If you do, your engine should have the turbo button along with a turbo plug. You can download a pic of a turbo plug and compare to what you have. I believe that the only way to run a turbo button is with a turbo plug (i.e. if you have turbo plug, you should have a turbo button).

tkhoo - MT12 has a button which is where the glow plug screws to. The cooling head is not where the glow plug screws to on this engine.

The button is between the cooling head and the case. I can't find a exploded view of the engine or any engine to show you right now. I don't believe you can run a turbo plug without the turbo button.
