What Head Gasket and Head bolts should I use?
Hi,
My head gasket went on my rs turbo van last week. Rather than get my head skimmed I have bought an already skimmed and polished head with a kent cvh35 cam. My engine already has a jdm T4 turbo running 11-12 psi of boost, a non standard chip and a huge cossie intercooler. Hopefully it will be quite quick and should really be over 200bhp. What head gasket should I use as I'm pulling my hair out over whether to choose a flepro, payern or standard. Advice on head bolts will also help please.

It's my first ownership of an RS turbo so I don't have much to compare it to. My mate has a standard turbo in his S2 holding 17 psi of boost and his spools up much quicker. However, when mine does spool up fully (about 3500 - 4000 rpm) it pins me in the seat more than my mates Imprezza. Is it a bad match having this turbo in this engine? Like I said, it's my first ownership, all I know is that it feels effing quick.

Not the end of the world though if your happy with it and can live with the lag. T4s do give you a good kick in the arse when they come on boost.
