you can use an OEM b16 or Gsr head gasket.

just use the oem one.

a 2 layer will give you a higher CR.

1) At 8.0:1, you're already MORE than low enough as it is. hopefully with the turbo you chose, it will not effect your acceleration too bad.

2) Oem is fine, you will not need any "boost gaskets". stacking 2 headgaskets together is just a reliable possibility
