Re:d16a6 minime vs 16z6
If you put the z6 head on the a6 and it was perfectly tuned with the correct ECU it would have more HP than the z6. That doesnt mean its better for turbo though. The Mini-me will have alot higher compresson and pose more of a threat when tuning. Detonation can easily happen if not tuned right. I have done 2 mini-me setups, but I have some pretty good fuel/spark management.
Both bottom ends are equally as strong.

Unless you're going to have really good fuel and spark management yes, just stick with the A6. With the upped compression in the Mini-Me you really need very good fuel/spark management or detonation happens a lot especially in a turbo application.
