Well if anyone wants to pitch in and help im always open for it and everything like that!!!! well once i start on everything ill take plenty of pics and update everything as much as possible, thanks all again

well good news is i have all my parts for the turbo swap except for the oil feed and return lines for the turbo. bad news is all my exhaust valves are burnt white. they are also loose the entire head needs to be re-built and overhauled but thankfully I have a buddy that has hella extra supra parts including four other heads so im gonna buy one from him and have it cleaned and new valve seals installed............pics of the head

thanks man and yeah It definately will be good to have it new and fresh wont have to worry about somethin else going bad
You can clean the ex. valves(it's just carbon buildup), but it takes alot of grinding. I got tired after only two valves, and got on Ebay and bought a new set for $60 shipped.
