A series motors, having an iron block and ali head dont really benefit from stud kits and MLS gaskets as I planned to use on my turbo setup.
Because the block and head expand at different rates they need a composite gasket that has some give in it. MLS is really good stuff but only suited the ali/ali or cast/cast block and heads.
For the A sereis you are better off with a decent composite gasket and the factory studs. However, to prevent head lift I torqued them down another 10Nm.
I'm running 20psi on a stock gasket and there are no problems - remember, boost doesnt kill headgaskets, detonation does!
