some don;t like the gt40p heads because of the straight angle sparkplugs which will hit the headers exspecially on a turbo kit.

I only spent about $2,700 in parts for DIY twin turbo and
cheap out on anything. Tial gates and BOV and good $400 TT intercooler.
No iffy ebay turbos or intercoolers or off brand wastegates.

Its very easy to do using shorty heads, a metal cut off saw and small welder.
No need to know how to weld. Just tack it all together and pay a local
performance shop or muffler shop to TIG it together for $100 .... or less.

Yeah old and a bump but IMHO, it is better to search and comment on existing threads than ask the same thing over, over, and over again without searching like most people do.

id rather have them bringin up old threads that have to do with hes/her question than start a new thread

p heads are torque heads. E7s are much better for boost. I wish I would have known this.
