Default S2 RS Turbo tuning

I've found some cheap tuning parts for sale and wonderd which is the best next move for my RS.

My car has got the usual 195 chip, stainless exhaust, pipercross filter, pace intercooler running about 14 psi.

The two items are a Stage 2 hybrid turbo, not even sure what the difference is from standard, and a polished head with piper cam and vernier pulley. Both about the same price and i can only afford one so which one is the question i ask you, any advice is much appreciated

I say get the head, as you've got the cam in that aswell and its been ported and polished so your going to see some minor power increases. You'll also be wanting this when you start going higher up the power range

You also know where you stand with the head, the problem second hand turbo's is you never know whether it going to last 5 minutes or 5 years.
