well mine definately has 4, as marked counted them on saturday, as he wasnt sure if it was a cometic or not.
Think a cometic gasket has 3 and a mountune WRC has 4..

It looks like a cometic in the picture, but may be a copy of one as it doesnt say its a cometic.
Its NOT what gets referred to normally as a "WRC gasket" and costs about 400 quid, but im sure you knew that already!
Cometic gaskets are PERFECT for 430bhp, however i personally wouldnt buy something as important as a gasket off ebay as i wouldnt trust it wasnt a second or a copy etc, i would buy it from someone like PJ Motorsport or from MSD etc

It could be the Mountune "budget" 3 layer item, I would not be surprised if it was made to Mountunes spec by Cometic:
http://www.mountuneonline.com/acatalog/C84156.html
Head gasket - 3 layer Supersteel Ref: C841
This 3 layer gasket was developed as an alternative to the four layer WRC gasket. It features "fire ring technology" which results in increased sealing properties around the cylinder bore (compared to a standard gasket). This allows higher boost levels to be achieved.(RRP £225.00)
Price: £185.00 (Excluding: VAT at 17.5%, delivery and shipping)

NO
The cometic is fine for that application, Stu@MSD uses them at that level too normally i believe, although obviously better to check with him than take my word for it.

UPDATE- i got in contact with the seller and he said this
The original Reinz WRC gasket is 4 layer. This gasket is a 3 layer with firering, a later type supplied by Raceline/Mountune.
Does it look like a firering WRC?? i dont want to be ripped off here!
