I presume you're going to figure out the cause of the gasket failure before fitting another ? Otherwise you'll be in the same situation. :)

I bet my first wank came quicker than your first mini turbo


These new modern turbos with their quick spool up time, would make the competition harder.

i used to work at halfords *ashamed*
and if you got the full headgasket set for a metro turbo there was an option to get the cheapo one, or pay a little bit more and get the payan headgasket in with the set, i went through loads of them lol!
ask them if they have alternates to the default one
