Well, I've looked for a thicker headgasket and haven't found one. If anyone knows where I could get one for relatively cheap, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let me know. It would be nice to have it before the holidays are over. BUT IN THE CASE I CAN'T FIND ONE... do you think I would be pretty safe if I just use an intercooler with high compression? I'm not wanting to really run over 7 PSI without lowering my compression and I have not a lot of money. I was thinking about just getting one of the sidemount intercoolers. This is really bothering the crap out of me cuz i want my car operable and back on the streets showing the riceboys real speed. Also, would having the turbo on my car help it pass smog???
