I am looking to book my car in soon to have the following fitted

Tomei 260 in & ex Cams
Up-Rated Turbos (not sure which yet)
660cc Injectors
Steel Head Gasket
Power FC (with a re-map to around 1.2 bar)

While the heads off would it be worth having the head polished and ported at this stage of tune? and to have the porting done i have been quoted £650 + VAT is this about the right sort of price and would it be worth spending that or should i save/spend the money on something else?

Sounds very reasonable to me. Just be careful who does it and make sure they've done some before and have proven good results...

Peter,couldn't agree more.My head gasket let go on the dyno due to over- porting.

Are there special considerations when working an RB head vs. any turbo 4-valve head?

polishing and porting always worthwhile... provided it's done correctly.

Though some of the newer cars from the factory come with high levels of finishing so you can't seem to gain as much from a "gasflow" as you may with an older car.
