I would recommend to make your own copper head gasket.Or have one cut out. That way you get the thickness you want and quality too.
I had one made for about $80

No more gasket problems. Too Easy

I use the genuine Nismo gasket which has a wire ring under the fire ring for extra 'bite'. (Note some have this some don't). It's on my 13:1 C/R A series race engine - no problems. Expensive but they don't blow. I'd suggest they'd be good for turbo too.

I will try and dig up a better pic.

I've used monotorque head gaskets for years, they have been known to fail for time to time, but in my turbo motors i just use a repco head gasket with a shim plate, haven't had any problems so far, standard head bolts is all that you need, even with a shimm plate.

I strongly recommend use a good quality head gasket, saves alot of heart ache when all the hard work that goes into a turbo systems fails only due to a cheaper part( or any part for that matter) It is true what they say................ YOU GET WHAT PAY FOR!!!

An engine reconditioner I deal with said that O-ringing is old school, and with modern head gaskets being a lot cleverer than in days of old, it wasn't something he'd recommend.
