Default What to build for Turbo 20-25psi?

Ok, Yes I searched couldn't really find much. on what im looking for
I know the block must be built. Sleeve the blocks. Pistons, Rods bearings rings....

BUT, does the head need work and if so what?
Valve Springs, Retainers , Stems, Cams,??????????

That is my question. IF you do find something on this direct me to the right place thanks in advance guys.

Depends, are you goign to be revving it higher than your stock redline? Replacing the springs/valves/etc can't hurt.

Well also depends how much power you are wanting to make. If it's gob-loads for a daily driver, you might want to seriously consider everything haha. I don't know how comfortable I would feel taking it up to 8000 if stock is 7200. Yes you need to build the bottom end, but it would be stupid not to give some love to the head (no pun intended guys) if you are dumping quite a bit of cash into the block.

PSI is irrelevant

Don't know what you'd need to do till you tell us your motor setup

Search better

Etc.

for the head you should at least run springs and retainers and check all your valve guides and seals and what not... you dont have to p&p.... and you can replace the valves since your going to have the head off... better safe than sorry
