Take them out and use standard headbolts. Proven to 350bhp+

As above, many head gasket failures have been attributed to using these on a CVH turbo.

Tell him not too mate, they seem fine on NA CVH setups but on the turbo's they seem to cause HG failures, maybe down to higher temperatures and different expansion rates.
