i think the most important thing you need to do is not boost your car because you are not familiar with it. READ and when you think you know, read some more

3MM is to big unless you are going to boost big.... get a 2MM unless your gonna boost over 18 PSI


Just look at what the greddy turbo kit comes with and get every thing the kit has .... you dont really need and thing you listed ....

I agree with techno tonis

So if I run a GT42R I will be okay running 18 PSI with a 2MM head gasket?

I'm pretty sure he meant Running 18 psi with a gt42r is going alot different than running 18 psi with lets say a TD05 .....

lol , well lowering the compression will ultimately lower the charge temp creating less detonation and reducing the likely hood of blowing his motor correct ? jp , but what is the compression ratio w/ 3mm?

Its to low and problems will happen...
I was thinking of doing a 3MM B/C I thought the same thing but science of speed and 3 local shops told me it would be bad if i ran a 3MM for 15/16 pounds

Not to say that you're wrong or anything , nor am I saying im a boost guru , But lowering your compression just reduces Static pressure which is used to create power on a all motor set-up . So having semi low compression like 8.8:1 will lower N/A whp ( i've heard 15 whp for every 1 ) And lower charge temps , But you will have to force more Air in to create the same power. And if the shops meant bad as in lower hp numbers then yes it would be. So all the subies,mistus that run 25 psi through gt35r on their 8.? :1 motors will have problems ?

3mm isn't brining the compression past a 9. someone back me up on this one.

The inlinePRO headgasket is made out of approximately 3mm of stainless steel to give an overall compression ratio of 8.83:1 or approximately 9:1. This is a great unit for those looking to make a good amount of power while taking advantage of the factory forged internals. Great for users on a budget.

The best way to keep from damaging your motor is to have it tuned properly. I would suggest getting the AEM EMS and the Inline Pro kit.
