Default three head gasket?

will a copper head gasket sandwich between 2 oem head gasket on a b16 motor using copper spray be stupid, too risky, will lower my compression too much, or I even think about doing this?

Do not do that. You will blow those gaskets very fast. Just buy a thicker gasket if you're that worried about it.

I will take your advice, I dont know if its necessary to lower my compression, my new turbo is set at 10 psi which probably means I will lose about 2 psi accross the intercooler, so about 8 psi daily, plans to kick it up a little 10-12 racing, I have the righ management, no timing computer I have bad rings right now, but got new ones, not installed yet, I want to have this engine for a while, but is the compression, that bad? I think 10-4-1 its been machined so I guess higher. what I need to do cant afford new pistons and rods to lower comp.

Do the headgasket right. And your compression should be no problem.
