Default LS/Vtec or

I have a ls b18b1 going into my eg I haven't droped it yet and was wondering is it worth the gain to fit a gsr b18c head to it?The engine will be turboed once the drop is done!

IMO just boost the ls as is, take the money that you would spend on the gsr head and add a set of weisco pistons, eagle rods, and arp studs.

I would not bother with the GS-R head if your going to be running a turbo....are you setting it up for Drag or circuit racing. ???? What kit are your set on using for the force induction on your motor??? I too am building my Eg Si?? I just fitted full J-spec GS-r suspension along with few r rated items for turning..my delma other than money is power plant.
