cross-flow vs g60

[drew at scirocco.cs.uoguelph.ca (Drew MacPherson)]

A cross-flow is consider a nice head for a turbo because the intake is on 
the front of the motor (like a 16V) which a) keeps the intake air cooler, 
and b) keeps the intake manifold the hell out of the way of the exhaust 
manifold/turbo and associated plumbing.

The x-flow is a great head for those who are doing "cheap-ass" turbo swaps 
using turbo-diesel manifolds, because the TD manifold can be used without 
modification when the intake is on the front of the engine.

I've consider a cheap-ass turbo swap (as I have no shortage of the tubro 
bits) but I lack the x-flow head.  Oh well, some day.
