Is this for your turbo build?

MED cylinder heads are excellent but they haven't been advertising them for well over a year now. They're not doing them in house anymore. I don't know who's doing them for MED now but I managed to get a 37/31 clubman 5 port head from them although it did take a long time.
The workmanship of my new head is first class, dare I say it probably looks better than my previous MED clubman 37/31.
Certainly worth the wait.

It's for my N/A mini. It had a look on their website but I couldn't find anything. KAD ones look really good. For a road car what would you recommend valve sizes?

I would drop Alex at the CarKitchen a line.

 

don’t know if he is fully booked up though.

 

valve size is cam dependent really.

As well as Alex, try Turbo Phil, though I know he has a bit on his books presently, but then, anyone who's any good will have too.

I have Calver’s GT head on a 1360 engine and really like it. Good for up to 120HP. Isky torquer cam+this head =plenty of torque and good road manners.
