    Head gasket, not turbo!

    Finally got round to having a look at the car this weekend, turned the engine over without plugs in again but this time it spewed a fountain of coolant out so it must be the head gasket, so that solves that issue! We'll be stripping it down on tuesday if all goes well and sending it off for skimming. So whilst the head's off the engine, any things that can be done to better it? Obviously new bolts, I believe they're prone to stretching through heat, anything else to do?

    New plugs will be going in aswell as air filter, any recommendations of which work best?

    How much do you want to spend, BTDT. My advise for what it is worth is change every thing that is difficult to do with the head on
    Small water hoses
    Vacuum hoses
    Pcv
    Cam chain
    Cam belt
    water pump
    Turbo gaskets (they don't come with the gasket set)
    RS2 metal head gasket
    The list go's on
