if your removing the head you always put a new cambelt on, bit of bad advice there mate, the belt will always be stretched when its been on the car, only time i wouldnt change it is if its only been on less then a week but ideally you should bre putting a new one on

Say if near the time i will be fitting the turbo kit can i get a new gasket, decomp plate and cambelt done which i will get done by a garage so its got it shown on service history and i wont be a ble to do it. Will it be ok to still run the car with the decomp on, etc even if turbo not yet fitted or should i get the turbo up and running then take to a garage to get all those done.
