What internal upgrades are common past bolt‑ons on the Type S?

Forged rods/pistons, upgraded bearings, and head studs support higher boost. Pair with cams and valve springs if you plan sustained high‑RPM use.

Is a head gasket upgrade needed on the K‑series turbo?

For elevated boost or track abuse, an MLS gasket with proper surface prep and torque helps maintain seal integrity under cylinder pressure.

Should I upgrade timing components at higher mileage?
