Default EA CFI - MPFI, Need different head ?

My mate has a CFI EA, he can get a hold of a MPFI system to suit. Another friend who is not only an apprentice mechanice, but a holden lover, says he will need a different hear. Is this true ? i thought the heads in the CFI/MPFI EA were all the dodgy same ?
Can someone let me know.
Regards

Luke

No need for a new head. He just needs to change the MPFI manifold, fuel rail, injectors, the TPS, ISC, and air temp. sensors etc...

Funny you should mention that, Most auto outlets sell to different head gaskets, dependant on weather the ca is CFI or MPFI. hmmmm, i smell rip off.
