Default Head gasket for Turbo setup (H22A1)

I am going to be running a modified FMax turbo kit with boost up to (and maybe past) a BAR (15PSI) I will be building the bottom end (H22A1), increasing the bore, and using lower compression pistons (8.5). Will the stock head gasket be fine, or should I use the ideal head gasket that comes with the kit? I have done a search, checked the posts, but nothing matched this question.

stick with the stockers. The ideal head gasket lowers your compression even more if you put the one in.

Sticking with the stock gasket and having a 8.5:1 ratio, how much boost can I run? I don't plan on spending all this cash and just running my ride at a reduced capability. If I can bump my boost a little higher I will. Basically I want to do it right the first time and be done with it.
