sup people i just got done boosting my 5sfe, i replaced the rods and pistons w/ afteramrket parts and it's built to handle the turbo. i'm having trouble keeping my head gasket from leaking. i've replaced it twice and its getting annoying. can anyone point me to a head gasket thats better then stock... i cant find any aftermarket ones for turbo....

your head is probably warped. An oem metal headgasket should not leak like that. Did you have your head resurfaced while you were getting work done?
