Re: Head gasket????

I'm not really looking for high horse. I'm completely happy where its at i just want it to be reliable. i spent a lot of money buying random parts, so im going to put that stuff on when i get home...(non performance parts) drive the car how it is and if it needs a new hg or turbo ill go from there.

sounds like you have more issues then just a headgasket though.

If you want it to seal you probably need to atleast have the head shaved. Most of the time they are warped just a little bit. Atleast check for flatness when it is off.

Pending what stage mutt turbo you have an evo16g would be a very comparable choice. It will provide good power and great driveability.
