No, it doesn't - but I was just stating that it is the same. > Are the turbo blocks reinforced? With what?? All the blocks are the same, cast steel. > I'd have thought it easiest to lob an entire turbo engine in. Not really - removing/refitting the head is a lot less work than removing/refitting the whole engine. With the latter, you have to disconnect/reconnect the driveshafts, clutch hydraulics, coolant hoses, electrics and many other things which you just wouldn't touch when swapping the head. And whichever you do, the turbo plumbing + control is additional work anyway. -- Grunff
