The 7M-GE has the exact same propensity to blow head gaskets as the 7M-GTE. Putting the turbo on the already high-compression 7M-GE is almost a recipe for disaster with the stock headgasket but somehow mine survived admirably well, even at 10psi on pump gas.

Then I guess you wouldn't have a problem with the 2JZ since it's an I6.
