the dealer... i asked jason about it and he said he doesnt know anyone else that sells it =(

I read something somewhere that you have to have the right hole gasket... like a 2,3,4,5 hole gasket X_X not sure what this means, he said there are a certain number of holes in the front of the gasket... im sure this is an indication of the gasket thickness so that the pistons dont crush the valves =) "untill the timing belt breaks of course"

You can hold plenty of boost with the stock fiber gasket and studs. Guys have held 40psi with a 3notch head gasket and studs consistantly. The MLS gaskets are expensive through the dealer and hard to get it seams. I would just stick the fiber one in, just make sure you get a German one like Elring. If you have a 2 notch which is most likely, you can hold even more boost. Unless you have a built pump, I doubt you will be able to push much more than 35-40 psi anyway with a correctly sized turbo and the pump maxed out.

Did you buy them direct from ARP or what?
