Default Factory head gasket

Hey whats up? Soon I will be turbocharging my B18 Integra Ls at 6-8 psi and I am wondering if the stock head gasket will hold up ok with that ammount of boost? I know If I were to change it, it couldn't hurt, but if I don't need to take apart the head to change the gsaket then I won't. Can anyone give me some advice before I blow a gasket?!!

you'll be fine, just make sure you run colder plugs, and have adequate fuel - definently keep your ear out for detonation.

Alright thanks for the help. I will have enough fuel, I'm running 450 dsm's and an smc controler. I don't plan on going any higher that 8 psi. Well... I say that now... Haha. Thanks again
