To the best of my knowledge, there is no difference in the actual head. In the back of my mind, there may be an exhaust valve difference (not in the size, but in the material it is made of). I believe there is some parts interchange info in the tech section.

This is the only difference I've heard of. But it's there! For what it's worth people have been turbo-charging these N/A engines since around 1987-88 and exhaust valves aren't the failure point.

There is this thread current running along the same lines.

IDI block = IDIT block

If you have an IDI block you can make it into an IDIT easily. The blocks are the same. Only the rods, wrist pins and pistons are specific to the turbo. I'm not sure about the crank. Both have under-piston oil cooling. There are stories on the internet about webbing in the casting being...

Interesting, I thought the exhaust valves were inconel or stellite in both N/A and turbo. Anyone happen to have an exhaust valve laying around that can be tested?
