Head gasket for 998 turbo build.
Turbo Mini Forums

Was just sat here with my little calculator (10kg pc) working out my possible CR ratio combinations pistons chamber etc...when a thought struck me.
The bk450 payen head gasket seems to be the best one for a turbo motor (excepting group A etc) But is there an equally good version of head gasket for the small bore turbo motor?
If an answer is glaring at me please someone point out my idiocy still a bit new to the turbo game....

A small bore gasket. Try a minispares copper.

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.
VEMS + 12 PSI + Liquid Intercooler = Small Bore FUN!

Gavin (?) at minispares recommended this to me for my small bore turbo:

Though It didnt get many miles for the few days the engine had the turbo on, It looks a good bit of kit.

Just use the copper one as stated.

Unless you are fitting a large bore head, then use the BK450
