Default need help- hg?

Hey guys I'm curious on how my car would run with a tt headgasket and arp head studs and no turbo. Reason I'm asking because I plan to go turbo soon and my hg is already blown so I was going to get in there and convert it so when I do put my turbo setup on, it will be ready to go. And I need my car running asap just dnt know if the lower compression will make my car run like crap untill I get the turbo kit on.

It will make less power but should be fine to drive. How long is it going to be till you boost.

I have read the same thing from other members on supraforums and clubna-t. City driving will be about the same but if you step on it you will notice the loss of power. As for mpg I would think it would be about the same,

If I was you I would go ahead and throw that tt hg on and get that car running again.
