        You probably previously stated what kind of heads you are
using, but I don't have the old mail handy.  Have you considered
the flow capability of the heads.  If there is not enough flow
capability, then the turbo may experience excessive back pressure
from the limited port capability and you may not get the boost
in the cylinders you expect. 
Assuming you can get the flow you need, can you get fuel with an octane
rating you require?  Some people lower the static compression
with dished pistons to allow more effective boost without having
excessive compression ratios.  Are you going to be above 14:1
compression?
