Well if you gonna swap the 8v for 16v to turbo it in the future you mate as well fit the 20vT lump..... same amount of work involved with the mounts and you best to use the 02A box from a 16v, so again you will need to change from rod to cable anyway. You can get the ecu and map from Quantum Performance Engineering they will also wire a 20vT loom with a 8v/16v loom all you will need is to fit it all.

Here's the link Quantum Web Site

Has anybody got the casting number for the 16v head off the 2.0L 16v motor. The ABF engine. I can bolt it onto my block, just need to check valve lift between the two. All the breaker yards are asking for casting number or if anyone has a spare head lying around that they would like to sell?
