yea dattodude is right ,i did that on my a15 when i ported it ,just sit the gasket over the studs on the head then dremel the inside out to suit, easy ,cheap and wont leak like a home made gasket will

plus will look 10 times neater

The surfaces are flat and even, they will only see 30 pound boost.
It's still not close to the head pressures of 200-300psi seen in the cylinder.

Just buy a standard paper gasket, trim it to suit, and correctly torque everything.

The one with metal is not needed for non-Turbo use.

Just use gasket material of the appropriate thickness.

So guys do i need the gasket paper with the thin steel middle,what the plan is is to buy the normal gasket copy it onto the gasket paper,then do the mods,then cut it out.

I'd still use a standard one and just trim it back, atleast the bolt holes and the outside edges are already the right shape.
