My experience with fibrous gaskets is that when you start running lots of boost, they still last ok initially but its a cumulative effect, and other time they get slowly hammered back by the boost (well the PCP created from the boost) and end up out of shape over a period of time.
The further you go with the boost, the quicker that happens.
I dont know specific numbers of miles for any given boost amount on the YB though im afraid.

Your current limit isnt the gasket Doug its the 803s.
If you want to pop up for an evening, i can set her to the maximum allowable on your setup if you like... squeeze a little more out, and in return, the night out afterwarts is on you. Waddaya say?
