If you keep blowing headgaskets, fix the underlying issue. If it was installed properly (ie. torqued properly and head/deck surfaces are flat) then there is no reason it would blow other than the tune.

is this supposed to be a high boost/heavy duty head gasket?

 

turns out i didnt blow it... dont really know what the smoke is from yet.. although its oil.. either fried turbo seals..( most likely it) or rings.. but im straying from it being the rings... just tested compressino a week or so ago.. and it showed around 190-195 all the way across

 

Check your turbo oil drain.The line maybe kinked or obstructed.
