Default Head gasket

I own an ap 1 and turboed it without any changes to the engine. Today, the car started smoking too much and I saw the oil started to curdle... I understand I blew the head gasket, which new head gasket should I buy to run around 15psi with a PLM manifold and a garret gt35? Thanks in advance!

I heard it had to be thicker to bring the compression down a little. No?

No don't use a thicker head gasket. It will blow...oem is best on 99% of builds.

just like these guys said run oem. As long as the engine is tuned correctly the compression isn't an issue

Another vote for OEM.

Where was the car tuned?

It will be tuned by Alfredo morales from Derf Tune. South florida area. I'm almost to the point to have him tune it, and I did take your advice! Thanks a lot!

Oem with a resurface head and block. New oem head bolts or full blown.
