Default Turbo questions

I have a 93 civic with a b16 swap. I just ordered a turbo kit thats adjustable from 8-15psi. I would like to run 8 psi daily but i want to do a thicker head gasket. Does anyone know of any companies that make thicker head gasket or would it work if i used two regular head gaskets? Also the kit comes with adjustable cam gears and they have three screws that hold the adjuster, my brother said i shouldnt use them because he said they can slip and i would mess up my motor. he said i should get ones that have 5 or 6 screws. Should i use the ones with the kit or should i get new ones? Thanks.

1) Move to FI

2) Cometic headgaskets are usually used for turbo'd engines

3) The cam gear thing is preference. Some have had no problems, some have had their AEM cam gears ripped completely apart. I personally have Skunk2 (6 bolts)

ive heard of 3 screw ones slipping also.. I would get a 5 or 6 just for some insurance. But really an aftermarket cam gear is pointless w/o an aftermarket cam. And I wouldn't waste my money or time on either if you plan on boosted.. just spend the money on your block or get a larger turbo or better management.

cometic makes good HG.. and while your changing it, you might as well upgrade to arp head studs
