the fact that you now have a dual cam head, which is more easily tunable in a turbo application, and you can have the best intake cam and best exhaust cam you could immagine seperate from each other is nice. also, the volvo head hasnt been flow tested with porting to my knowledge... it almost out flows the essy head which is obviously heavily worked over...
There is someone who makes kits which include the head, tensioners, spacers, EVERYTHING you need to the nuts and bolts for 1500+ shipping.
its worth it in my books.

720whp with the volvo head, and it was streetable. they may ahve been lieing,
Forgive my cynicism... but making 720rwhp out of a 2.3l 4 banger... power comes on a 6500rpm, and its lights out at 7k...
Unless of course you are using twins.

its not a matter of the turbos really...its more of a matter of getting a boost controller so u can adjust it cuz u could always get 1 turbo and run it at 24 lbs or get 2 and run the at 12 lbs each and of course having the head ported and whatnot to flow the extra air

im sorry to get defensive, but there are many 4cyl turbo's making over 600hp, and if you want to see some 2.3turbo's that really haul, turboford.org. im not sure how streetable it is claimed to be, but i heard he drove it on the street, occasionally, and streetable came up.
i will have to find the thread and post it up here... btw... there are 1000hp 4cyl cars out there, and to be completely honest, the power comes when the turbo spools, and when you have 1000hp with the turbo, you've spooled by 3000rpm...
