i dont understand how i wasnt specific. this guy was supposed to call me before any thing regarding my turbo. he didnt and welded to small of a charge pipe and the backpressure blew my head gasket. so im gettin the charge pipe fixed and im wondering what head gasket would be most suitable. oem or upgrade and which way to go as far as compression. if i bumped up a little bit on compression would it be bad in the long run.

yeah it was already moved. and yeah has a b.o.v. im not worried about that. i just want to know if i nudge my compression up or down a little bit from the difference in the thickness of the headgasket will it screw me in the long run. but nvm im just going to go oem. thanks.
