    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

    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
