<VV> Re 95 head on 180 turbo engine

[Vanderlind, Patrick]

 On a side note to this post, if you want to run a different, less expensive
head other than a true turbo, try a 110 smog head as the combustion chamber
is nearly identical. I have been running one on the passenger side of my
Corsa with a true 180 and the other with a 110 smog and has worked
flawlessly for nearly 20k miles. I would try to match them in an ideal
situation, but if a 180 head is illusive, try the smog. As far as using a 95
and a 180, I would not long term. Get another 95 head and drill the oil
return from the turbo.
