I thought the only difference was the lower compression ratio, and thats from the heads, I am not sure but that I thought everything else was the same. Where did you get it also and prices please, I know people don't like to tell but if you want to you can pm me. Can you use the valve cover also? Turbo Valve Cover!

Oh ya are you using the turbo from stock VQ30DET or aftermarket one?
