Yep... I've got a head from an '88 SPG on my '86 900S and had a head from an '87 900S on my now-gone '88 900T. The only thing to be aware of is that you will need to swap cams (intake, IIRC) and, as I understand it, it is generally a poor idea to swap "broken in" cams from head to head due to wear patterns. I have no had problems, but in both head swaps I moved the cam followers with the cams... I was told that's proper protocol by my mechanic. You might want to speak with someone more knowledgeable about cylinder head tolerances than I am before doing this... All I can tell you for sure is that the head and valvetrain between turbo and non-tubo 16v cars is the same, with the exception of the intake cam.
