Ok,

I am building a Mini-Me a6/y8. I have the Honda metal gasket incoming, and the ARP head studs as well for the y8. The point of this question is this: Is it better to go with an aftermarket gasket than the honda piece? I generally prefer honda factory parts, however honda factory parts were not inteded for b00st. So I thought I would put it out here, and ask.

Whats the best way to go?

Thanks,

your basic metal 3 layer headgasket works just fine.

ive run oemor just basic parts store brands like beck/arnley and fel-pro, and stone...they all do just fine

If you're going for big boost, highly built d-series, then check out these suckers http://www.cometic.com/phuzion.aspx But ****'s right...for your everday build, any MLS is just fine.

where do you guys normally get your headgaskets. i was considering the tuner toys cometic but someone just stated that fit like ***.

Minor Threat

Either direct from Honda, or whoever sells them cheapest around here. Partsource, Autozone, etc.
