yeah i actually looked at that before the i posted but thats for a bhg. mines still good and i just want to replace it now then later down the road cause im going to be doing some high boosting like in the 15-19psi range. so yeha.

arrizle, dont you have a N/A. I'm not sure, but i think that may change people's answers to your questions, I have a feeling that you dont have to be 'so hardcore' when it comes to things, as we'll not be dealing with boost. (unless that's something you plan to do in the future)

hey naw man i got a turbo. but im not hardcore.. im just trying to make it hold my 60-1 trim at the track. I just want to replace it so that when it comes to the track im not left stranded so yeah/.

Can't tell till the head's off but as a rule it will need to be resurfaced for a MHG.

If you are going to put a MHG on, I'd recommend getting the head and block machined to the proper RA spec of the MHG.

soo i guess im better off just resurfacing it and probably safer later down the road.
