Turbo Head Gasket???
1995 Integra gsr b18c1 100k miles
I have begun to piece together my turbo setup which i have a garrett t3 60 trim, turbo manifold with 38mm tial wastegate, and i have a fuel rail, fuel pump, fpr, 440cc injectors. All i plan to run is ~8 psi. I want to get a new head gasket and some arp bolts.
My question is, what kind of headgasket should i get. I was thinking the Cometic 3-ply metal gasket (.043" i think) i can get one for about 100 bucks. What do you guys think and does anyone have some experience with this gasket in good or bad ways. also how doees this gasket effect my compression ratio. I really want to keep around my stock compression. How will a slightly lower compression effect driving WITHOUT my turbo setup installed. thanks

I personally don't like Cometics simply because we've had problems with them in the past. GE factory overbored on our sleeved up motors, otherwise just plain OE works fine
