Message	There are only 16 bolts that separate my performance heads from my bottom end. My plan is to purchase a TT short block, turbos, and accessories when I have the money. Then, I will transfer my top end over. As long as I don't damage anything in the process! The forged Ferrea valves are incredibly durable and will withstand boost. The NA heads are superior to both the 40p's and 48p's due to their more gradual short side radius. Why invest the tons of $ and time in a dream TT setup right now when my bottom end is perfectly fine? There's no way I'd risk running used turbochargers so the conversion will probably cost close to $6000 more. I have Nistune so I can compensate for any injector in minutes.
