What exactly is your definition of a "turbo" head gasket. They have a full line of multi layer steel sandwich gaskets that work great on turbo applications. Many thickness and bore sizes available for all B series engines.

Not really. 99% of the time its installer error.

Block/Head flatness, surface finish, etc. I think Cometic specifies 50RA or finer finish for their MLS gaskets.
Improperly torquing the head doesn't help either.

Cometic has the HP gaskets. Known as High Pressure. They are still an MLS gasket but they have a thicker ring that surrounds the bores in order to provide additional sealing for boosted/n2o applications. We usually try to stock them in various sizes and thickness's, if you cant find one then its usually a 2-3 week wait from Cometic for them to make one.

How could I verify that? ( no offense ) .
Did you check for surface irregularites?
