best head gasket for boosted gsr

[TurboSnatch]

i know everyone has their own opinion on headgaskets, i searched a few old forums with peoples opinions. i would like to see what everyone thinks the best/reliable headgasket would be for a boosted gsr. im looking at about 15-16 psi on a t3/t4 turbo. some say oem is the best some say hks. the last thing i want to do is pop a head gasket after all this time and money. thankyou

Are you running an 0-ringed block or anything special like that? I have not had any problems with OEM gaskets even on big HP cars, just use soem ARP studs or new OEM bolts and toruque them properly.

One of the guys on the RM forums coated an OEM gasket with copper coat for extra protection. Maybe look into that.

i vote OEM all the way!

I had cometic and had problems with it sealing cause the block did not have super fine finish. From what I have seen everyone has had good luck with OEM.
