b6t head

I have decided to start saving for a b6t swap swap. I was worried about how the intercooler piping ran over top of the head untill i read that you can swap the head from the non turboed b6 and use the intake manifold from it. I was curious to if doing that would affect the performance of the b6t. Like maybe a difference in the valve ports, springs, and cams?

the stock mx3 head actually does flow better. you could get oversized valves if you want...Thats what I did.

thats cool. i would have figured that the turbo head would have flowed better, but i guess thats not always the case.

I have two questions for you.

1. do you still have the stock mx tranny or did you swap a different one in?

2. I looked at your car on cardomain and was wondering where you got a clear sunroof. I hate having a metal sunroof

thanks

Does anyone happen to know if a miata intake manifold will bolt up to the b6t head?
