i was just doing some research and have found that the stock exhaust valves on the 16v are 25.5mm.
i have found that trd make or have made in the past oversize valves that are 27.5mm.
the reason i am interested in this is i have heard that bigger exhaust valves on a turbo aplication can make a worthwhile difference.
just wondering what you guys thought an dif you know where i could get some?

just use blanks and machine them to suit, my mate at extreme engineering showed me once he used stainless blanks in my old gemmie and turned them to size on the lathe.. not that i want to be doing that anytime again soon... thank god there was only 4 of them...

find out what size you want them to be.. and speak to a qualified experienced machinest, like Craig @ Extreme Engineering 07 3274 3700

ahem... sorry for that free plug.. Craig at extreme custom engineering.. whoops.. there it goes again..
