:: Crucial Racing Systems - The parts you need for the performance you want
this is what i was talking about. what i remember was they shipped to my house within 3 days.

boost leak the intake manifold and check the o rings on the injectors too.

the only way a gasket should ever go bad is either during installation or if there is a leak. where superhot air is escaping. Shouldn't need a thicker gasket to make up for any leak, if theres a leak then either the bolts aren't tight enough or the two pieces don't fit together correctly.

I believe all OEM exhaust gaskets are metal as well, they are plenty strong.
