  1. standard head gasket will handle up to 260hp after that I don't know boost wise anything under 1.1 bar is fine
  2. Same here mate it was very minor the gasket blew a week later. Just keep an eye on it wipe it down and run the car and see if it stops at any point. Also would re-check the toque setting on the head bolts.
  3. I had the exact same issue mate from the exact same place it was down to the decking of the block. Have you had the block decked and head skimmed?
  4. Go for an standard head gasket and head bolts mate if you go for a MLS Athena gasket your block will need decking
  5. Your looking at £500 plus from main dealer
  6. Cheers mate I was thinking to do that but prefured the look of the holes instead
  7. TD04L from an wrx or new age Subaru impreza plenty good second hand ones out there for manifold and down pipe would recommend a Wepr setup from Sacha flawless quality
  8. The only difference is just brands they all do the job I have an Autobhan and it does the job well Jperfomance is good as
  9. In theory yes on minor wrapt surfaces LOL strange as it is the gasket will be going on my wall as an souvenir now haha. They defiantly are lessons learnt this time!
  10. Could be your water temp sensor. That plays a part in controlling fuelling on cold start and on hot when they fail they usually cause misfire on cold starts and when hot
  11. Go to there website mate there's a full pic there
  12. I have an Tuning Developments brand new bottom half size rad bracket here if wanted
  13. The straight edge is an old school technique it still works still see people using that method today and having no issues obviously its not %100 accurate but gives you an rough idea.the head has been skimed and checked recently was perfectly fine
  14. You can but is it worth the risk just slap a new one on and be done
  15. OEM head bolts you shouldn't re-use as everyone knows they stretch the only bolts you can re-use are the ARP
  16. To be honest if your running stock power and stock boost you wont be needing it you will simply gain lag and lose power unless your upping the boost abit then yeah
