Considering your LS motor already is equipped with 9.2:1 cr pistons, a thicker head gasket is not necessary. For an B18B turbo setup, my suggestion is to go for a T3/T4-E turbocharger along with a nice sized front-mount intercooler (eg. 28"x8"x3"). You can buy a "turbo kit" but the lame thing about it is that it comes with some dinky 2" intercooler piping...which sucks! Save up some money....do some more research as in what brands you like and so forth....and then build yourself your own kit. Don't settle for what they give you... with "turbo kits".
