Just had the guy who is checking over my block look at my cylinder head and has recommended I renew a exhaust valve guide as there is a bit of movement. Which is good news, thought maybe more work would have been needed.

I can't seem to find any turbo exhaust valve guides can anyone help out where I should be looking

I think probably your only option is to have some standard ones drilled and reamed to suit,

 

or swap all the exhaust valves to stainless with std non turbo stem diameters

As suggested above, get a standard iron guide and open it up to suit the larger stem.

any decent machine shop should be fine doing that operation, its way easier than recutting the seats which they would have to do anyway.
