good compression to go turbo? basically i got a bent valve on the z6 head and since i have an extra a6 head. I wanted to slap it on for now so i can be able to drive it.

I just put a b1 head on a z6 with no problems. Like everybody said you have to put an oil jet on the z6 block ( before you ask, there's a place for it. )
