The casting is the same. There are a few things that make the bottom end a turbo one:
- low compression pistons
- oil feed and return for the turbo
So you can use ANY 1.6 CVH bottom end for turbo use. You'll just need correct pistons and a solution for the oil.
I'd ALWAYS use the EFI head with the EFI inlet. There's no use to waste money and power with such an adaptor plate.
