At this point I'll give it a shot.

Note to self:

$25 Felpro head gaskets will not take 15psi daily.

I swapped my clutch in yesterday. Grabs like a mother ******. Just waiting on my new head gasket and studs to get here. Both are coming from Cali so it shouldn't be too long to ship......

How much do you think that will lower it?

Here is the one I bought:

I'd say at 15psi on a stock D15, a drop in the compression might help me out a little.

These gaskets are made of MLS (Multi-Layer Steel) Great for Boost, Nitrous and High Compression applications..
'turbo' headgasket great for high compression engines too

Damnit,,,,, I just found out the turbo i was going to use is smoking big time(t3 .60/.63).... SO... I took it apart, cleaned it and im going to TurboCity tommorow to pick up a rebuild kit, if its rebuildable, or just buying a new center cartridge and slap it back together... SO the install is pretty much still on for this weekend... unless the gay weather acts up again..
