Nobody? I've heard good things about Fel-Pro. I've also heard that the OEM gasket should be fine. Please respond.

well uve got 2 options. Take off your valve cover, and install ARP headstuds and use the OEM gasket and ull be fine. Or remove the head of the motor (pain in the ass) get a thicker headgasket to lower compression, then install ARP headstuds. How many LBS of boost u going to run?

8. Yeah, it's a PITA to take off the head, but if it's necessary I can do it. Keep in mind the cars got 120k, and I'm not sure if it's been the same gasket the whole time. If I take the head off to replace the gasket, I might get it milled too. I've also heard good things about Cometic gaskets.

oh crap, the head has to come off, damn, for some reason I thought you would replace the bolts holding the head on with APR's. Well, ok, let us know how it goes.

I think I read on turbod16 that some people installed them without taking off the head. Where'd you order yours from?
