KA24DE Head Gasket?
 

I need to replace the head gasket(coolant water starting to look oily) and im going to turbo my car in a few months, nothing crazy just 7psi on a t25, and was wondering if a stock head gasket would be fine or should I just upgrade. If I should upgrade, to what?

Thanks!!!

I know many who run OE head gaskets as a engine fuse as it will blow before other bigger things blow.

Matt who ran a 450ish hp KA-T drift car ran a stock HG for the longest for that reason. I ran 8psi on a stock gasket... never blew it. before you boost if you run a compression test, it will tell you the condition of things inside.

Did a compression test and I have about 150 psi in all cyclinders, isnt it suppose to be like 175psi?
