TT internals, will I need HG
I'm gettin ready to turbo my N/A 5spd and I was going toswap in the TT internals so I could have a better bottom end. i'm ordering the Powerhouse Racing Stage 2 kit from MVP. But I was wondering if I will need to take off my head and change the crappy stock head gasket over to a thicker metal one even with the TT internals. And yes I did do a search and came up with no real answer. A little help would be nice guys.

If you're swapping in TT internals, why not save yourself the trouble and swap the motors over? The TT block would be stronger than the NA motor's one too (I'm pretty sure).

I know you know what you're talking about and all, but I'm pretty sure the GTE rods are thicker than, and therefore stronger than, the GE's.
