Head gasket is the same,FT pistons are dish-top,NA pistons are flat-top.ft exhaust valves are pricey sodium-filled to deal with the extra heat.Higher compression turbo engines would make more power,but probably at the expense of driveability and engine wear.FT and NA motors share the same bore and stroke specs,so there would be no displacement gain with an engine swap.A stroker red-block motor would require custom crankshaft,rods and pistons.
