Why wouldn't I? I don't need to lower the compression at all.
m50 headgaskets are notorious for blowing without boost at all.

I'm looking for 350-400wheel, and this motor normally support 350 without arp's even. I think I should be able to manage. If I blow it, oh well. It's like a boost fuse haha. Too much boost and bad tuning, I blow a hg versus a piston haha.
ha! I like that.
Better than blowing the welds on your intake manifold for sure!!!!!!!!!!!!
p.s. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's common practice in the turbo volvo world to run a factory head gasket and treat it like a fuse. Those who go the MLS Cometic approach (without a lot of time spent tuning on the dyno by a professional) often live to regret that decision.

Alright for sure. Would you just run rubber lines? Like those high pressure efi ones? Or would you do braided? Also, do you think i need a new fuel rail? This fuel thing is really getting me.
Go braided. Looks better. And the fuel rail, factory fuel rail *should* be fine. Just upgrade injectors/possibly get a higher bar FPR.

Maybe, I went Cometic to get a lower CR.

The kool-aid man prefers Cometic gaskets 9 times out of 10.
