Wont say what mine is, but think I could replace about 10 head gaskets before I get even close to that price

there are more gaskets available. cometic has mls gaskets too for less money.

however when you're not going too extreme a standard head gasket could be used. the most probable cause a gasket blows is inproper tuning.

My f7p turbo I just used a blue seal f7p mellior std headgasket from ktec cost me 30 inc postage it was decent quality. But then I was only running 14psi to be honest I would have still used the same gasket for more boost as its all down to state of tune

mls every time:)

the others will blow under repeated higher boost, even if fuel/tune is sound:D

all about long term reliability;)

yes, depends on the block, if its oe, then yes , if its been re bored , you will need to check /or get it checked, but most are under 83mm bore so should be fine, if the bore is bigger than 83mm, get the 2.0 16v item for the williams, which 84mm :)
