Would it be a good idea to just go ahead and install one with the turbo kit or would that just be a waste of money?

it was like 85 dollars i think and it was 1mm thicker than stock b/c i didnt really want to mess with the compression too much but it probably dropped it a point or so. all i know is that its better than the stock gasket and i doubt ill be blowing it again, i also torqued my head down 6ft/lbs tighter than honda reccomends to futher provide protection from me blowing it again.

when you say you bought the gasket from kms, was it a head gasket or the gasket for the header...because the initial post he was asking for a header gasket...just want to be clear because i may call john up today and get this for my sf turbo

it was a head gasket for the head...i dont remember who i dealt with but i'd get the turbo block guard as well if your going to buy the head gasket. the block guard basicly makes ur engine into a semi-closed deck which is always good for strength. block guard is 75 dollars if i remember correctly.
