I'm thinking i need a turbo, the intake side spins nicely but i think it's no longer being powered by the exhaust side. Having said that all i can seem to find is water cooled turbos and although i'd like one i'd rather just get back on the road with a TC05-10A or whatever is the new non water equivalent. Any leads?

Turns out it broke a rocker shaft, seems the rear most bolt wasn't torqued down. I should have double checked them when i got the head, luckily i had another and got it on. problem solved.

I hope you made reasonable effort when you bought the head to make sure it was not made in CHINA. That will not be the only problem you have with that head otherwise!

I bought it from Atlas cylinder head, i think they're out of Florida. But i think the head was just under 300 so who knows it could be a china head <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
