there are some differences as the alternator fixes to the head on the mpi, and i "think" the temp sensor is different too.

The water temp sender hole and the water heater take off are not drilled, extra fixing holes for the alternator mount, no water by pass, and manifold locating lugs on the inlet ports., that just about covers it. On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:

For the life of me I can't work out why minisport when the were pissing around with the 7 port casting never added the mpi alternator mount...... Possibly because one of the inlets is there....8) On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:
Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem. |

I thought I heard some where that the water ways were ment to be superior, I pretty sure that Nigel Brown is running one on his car for this reason.

Not actualy having an MPi head to look at i cannot comment on that, however, the water jacket of the MPi block is of a smoother and overall better finish than any of the other blocks i have seen, possibly better casting methods used with a re designed core for the redesigned block?

I'll have a look and report back, I've got several MPi and turbo heads I can compare.
