Get a big valve head. Run the turbo! it's a GX engine and therefore 
expendable. Put a big valve head on it and run the turbo with what ya got. 
Worry about building an engine designed for a turbo after you smoke the GX 
engine. By that time you will know what you are gonna need to be looking at 
pricewise and partswise. Ask Roland; he knows his shit when it comes to 
turbos.
