And I would fully reco the head even if there is no visiable sign of damage. Edited 16/06/09 09:54 AM by YPURV4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Girdle is a good safety thing, they stop the main caps walking around and will allow you to push the rev limit a bit higher when you go for a bigger turbo. Depending on how much boost you are running you can look at the 12mm head studs too. I'd also throw an Atomic Harmonic Balancer on it too, the stock ones aren't the best thing in the world.Good Luck!
