Replace it with the original head.  It'll be shit with a lower compression 
head off a turbocharged engine, without the turbocharger there.

Just wanting a quick and painless transfer, should have it together 
tomorrow, will only need the car for a month or so as I will be putting a 
peugeot 405 diesel on the road then :-)
