Default 1st G and 2nd G head swap

I just want to make sure about some stuff before I go buying a bunch of sh*t that wont work on my car.
I'll just state what I think I know and all you 'sperts tell me if I'm right or wrong.

A 1st generation turbo head will bolt onto a 2nd G. turbo without mod's and be an upgrade because of flowing more air.
A 1st or 2nd G. NON-turbo 4g63 head will bolt to a 2nd G. turbo but the cams will have to be switched with cams from a turbo car.

I do have two questions: If a complete 1st G. turbo engine is dropped into a 2nd G. turbo car, will the computer in the 2nd G. work or need a 1st G. computer?

If a non-turbo 4g63 head is put on a turbo 4g63 and the cams changed as needed, does that head flow the same air as the turbo head?

Sorry for all these questions but I'm just double checking.

k, im a non turbo guy, so im not sure, but i believe you would need a 1G computer, because the engine is set up differently........ or get a stand alone unit........

question, why would you put a n/t head on a turbo?

Well, I've seen a few non-turbo heads off a 4g63 in a few places like ebay that guys are selling. They are saying they will fit a 4g63 turbo engine but the cams would need to be replaced with the turbo cams.
I'm just wondering......if they will fit, do they have the same flow as the turbo head. It seems to me they wouldnt but hey, thats why I'm double checking.

Oh and the reason I want to know is because I need head (for my car)LOL[sm=icon_rofl.gif]

hehe, yea me too....... again im not 100% sure, but i would imagine that a turbo head would flow more air, it has to in order for the turbo to really be effective.........
