Default headgasket for boosting b16
getting ready to put a turbo kit on my b16, and want to drop compression a bit by way of replacing the head gasket (planning on building a stronger block later) any particular brand and size anyone recommend?

Cometic .043" gasket will drop your compression to about 9.8:1.
