Nope, wont' work.

Run what you already have. Why waste more money.

-Should I replace the bearing to longer the life of the engine?(I have heard it will help prevent crankwalk).
Why waste time and money on it, if you plan on building another 6-bolt.

-Should I spend the money and get ARPs and a metal HG?
No, the stock headgasket and stock 7-bolt head studs will handle the 14B(assuming you are still running that turbo) no problem, even at 26psi, as long as you don't blow it from detonation.

-Do you eliminate BS on a 7Bolt? If so is it a good idea?
Why bother with the 14B. You can if you want, but if you don't plan on running the motor for a long time, then it's just a waste of time. BS elim is mostly to make it safer to rev the motor high(which is useless with a small turbo) or to make doing you next timing belt easy.

Why did you swap to a 6-bolt in the first place, if you still had a running 7-bolt and weren't making 500+whp already?
