Default OEM Problems

Since i have now gone bigger turbo and more power im runnng 420bhp at 1.6bar

after i have given the car a real hard caining, she dumps all the coolant and i have been told that it sounds like the heads are lifting.

whats the best options for this? engine out im guessing so do you just do gaskets and headbolts or while out do i do a 2.1 build?

what sort of prices am i looking if i remove the engine and give to an engine builder?

TBH, 1.6bar on a standard car is somewhat irresponsible, afaik.

I didn't think 1.6 was high
