switching k16 to k24's
Question for the experts:
Is switching from k16 turbos to k24's a simple direct bolt on?
Can the previous headers and waste gates be re- used?
Thanks in advance

I thought did I say that right.I was told by a Porsche mechanic that the exhaust head to manifold gasket is stainless steel and can be reused. Others have said no...do you recall if it is a layered stainless gasket? If so, it should be reuseable if in good condition.
