#28370, "metal headgasket-boost"


          

About 6 months ago I blew my headgasket. I knew I wanted to go turbo so the mechanic put in a 3 stage metal headgasket. will this allow me to run more boost? may be 10 or 12psi? don't have bottom end rebuilt rebuilt. thanks

(should of rebuilt bottem when this was done but I'm stupid)

From what i have heard, the newly designed stock MLS headgasket is the best out there. People are running 20+ psi of boost on it, and no probs...should't be any with a multi-layer metal gasket anyway..

Not if your running with stock pistons. They will fail on you.
