Re: mini me turbo swap!!!! help!!!! (S.P.I.cc)
no u cannot use two head gaskets..u'll have to either swith out the pistons to z6 pistons or order aftermarket head gasket.....and yes ur compression is going to be at 10's...that's high for turbo man.

cometic makes a thicker head gasket and with z6 pistons you should be around 10:1 instead of 10.5:1 or whatever it is....just remember low low low boost bro
