same thing for the crank - TWO part nums;

the question IS - what is DIFFERENT about the two cranks? what makes one crank a turbo and the other non-turbo? the crank on the motor i bought (the motor which is NOT turbo - even though it SAYS it is tubRo!) has the shark groove in the face of the crank... what else does a 'turbo crank' have? a widened inlet port?

still confused...
excellent info here - thx guys! but still no answer to using the turbo head in this rs12s1tr...
