I bought my gasket set from the machine shop that did the work for my head.

If you strip everything off of a N/A cylinder head it is the same exact thing as a turbo head. It's what bolts to the head that makes the difference, like the intake chamber, distributor and cam covers. The cams are the same, the valves are the same, the valve clearances are the same. Only thing different between the turbo and N/A cylinder head are the warpage limits.

I just told you the answer in my last post. Slow down and read it. It says that a GTE head is the same as the GE head when stripped down to nothing. You need a GTE cam sensor, intake chamber (the part the throttle body bolts to) and GTE cam covers.

Now that I'm thinking about it I wouldn't doubt that some of the bracket mounting stud holes for the throttle linkage, the pvc pipe or the turbo stay (that attach to the side of the head) are not in a GE head, so I don't know. I would say why hack it, just use a GTE head and SHIP IT.
