Head gasket ? For you turbo guys

[Justin89tt]

What are you running for head gaskets? I just blew mine,I was using felpro 8548 I believe with my trickflow heads. When I went to the Dyno Saturday we realized the gaskets had blown but I believe I blew them myself before getting it tuned. He suggested I use a MLS gasket and I won't have any problems. However,everything I read says I need to have the blocked and heads decked and I'm not gonna do that. I just ordered a set of felpro 9333pt1 gaskets because I did some researching and lot of people run those with no problems,so I'm just curious to see what others are running. I would rather blow the gasket than bend a rod.

I've always had good luck with Cometic. I like the fact that they are re-useable also.

On my 95 Turbo car I had the heads machined, just prior to the turbo installation. Obviously the heads are the easy item to have done due to portability. I've ran cork based gaskets on another boosted 5.0L application (centrifugal supercharger), and kept blowing them.
