Your turbo may give up at that mileage or it will at the very least severely shorten it's life.

when you stage 3 there is no need to group a the head gasket until it goes,if it goes

NO need to do standard headgasket!!
Southampton University had to do loads of headgaskets on bog standard engines, when they were being developed, they had MORE fail than not fail.

if i were you i would wait till i had the money to pull the whole engine out. give it a rebuild and renew turbo then stg 3 it. just my opinion.
