The EVO's have a slightly more retarded gasket than the DSM's do...but a nice 7cm gasket will give you a nice gain.  Your stock gasket is basically a restrictor plate with 2 holes in it to allow the exhaust flow.  I believe all EVO-certified Mitsu tech's were briefed on this so maybe 1quick4 will know more about it.  I have heard if you remove it the warranty will get voided...but then again going to the grocery store will have the same end result.
IIRC the Evo8 has the equivalent of a 9.8cm gasket, and switching to a non-twin scroll gasket will kill the spoolup(add a shitload of lag).The idea of a twin scroll setup is to keep cylinders 1 and 4, and 2 and 3 exhaust pulses separated all the way to the turbine wheel, preventing them from meeting in the manifold out of phase.This allows the Evo to have a larger turbine housing and better spool than normal setups.
