The head was rebuilt by LSE (or whoever they outsource to). Valve grind and 8 exhaust valve stem seals.
By what you said the last time we talked it sounded like the engine ate some dirt/gravel. (intake filter torn open, turbo chipped to hell, pebbles inside the turbo and zero compression). I'm thinking that is the source of damage so expect whatever other damage would be typical of that situation.
As this was my setup (though for only a very short time) I may be able to answer some things about history, build, or whatever else if Kevin can't.
*Sidebar* Did you get any more tuning done on the 2.0?

Well after I pulled the head off I seen now that all compression lost was from the valves literally falling off!! My head guy in hugo told me it was a home job or half ass job gone bad!! Yes there was rocks in the turbo from a half assed intake!! However for rocks to go all the way through the piping into the engine would be nearly impossible and there is no damage due to that. That is just the reason why I had to replace the turbo. I have done some tuning with the car. I believe I am coming pretty close though to replacing all the parts on this intire car. This is possibly the most expensive shell I have ever bought. By the way I did loose your number so I couldn't call you. But that grinding in first ended up to be all gears and was not an adjustment instead all the syncros being fried.
