Default thicker head gasket or double gasket?

I'm about to put a turbo kit on my d16 and i know the compression is already kinna low but i was thinking about doubling up the head gasket or getting a thicker one. http://www.scegaskets.com/pdf/pg%2047-51.pdf i went to this site and found these gaskets but what is the stock gasket thickness and will the .093 be fine under pressure?

I read here on HT with the search that somone had used two gaskets (stock) they just took them apart and put the two bottom pieces together, the two mid. pieces , and the two top pieces. he said he didn't have a problem with it. Has anyone else tried this?

TIA

I have really contemplated trying it out.

how much would a 2mm or 2.37mm head gasket lower my compression on my d16z6?
