just keep the stock one. With less compression you'll be able to boost more but you'll be making the same power as with lower boost and higher compression. Not only that but you'll lose low end power and increase turbo lag. The only benefit to low compression is it makes space for sloppy tuning.

OEM.

If the OEM gasket doesn't meet your needs, try a Cometic gasket. VERY high quality stuff, and because of it's OEM-like tri-metal composure, it has none of the hassles of a copper gasket. Affordable too!

I believe http://www.raceeng.com carries the Cometic headgaskets in either .030" or .040" . They are only $69.00 or so! Can't go wrong with one!
