head gasket
i have a 92 civic si with 95 gsr swap built for boost...i am getting ready to put on my turbo kit and was wondering if i needed an aftermarket head gasket or if one from autozone will work just fine or not...i plan on running 7-10lbs of boost for just everday driving and when i want to race around 17-20lbs of boost...thank you

Anytime when you start to do forced induction, it is best to take preventive measures. So yes, change the head gasket and no don't get the autozone one. Get proven parts.

Re: (SilverAWD)
OEM Honda head gaskets are just fine. You're not aiming for a large amount of boost. If you want to take that precaution, replace with a OEM Honda headgasket, and get some ARP head studs while your in there.
