i'm fixing to put a turbo kit on my ka24de and i was wondering if anyone had any ideas of a good head gasket i'm looking for something not cheap but not expensive if anyone could share some ideas that would be great!

I heard Cometic has a head gasket that might work (was reading around the internet). Does not seem any of the big brands have a metal head gasket for the KA. The main reason i might just go with the SR.

well i was trying to look on jim wolf technologies but they didnt have anything but i did find something on vivid racing but that shit is expensive but since im only going to run 8psi ill prolly just stick with the oem gasket.

I've had good luck with Fel-Pro.

I've used a couple Cometic HGs. If you go with a Cometic, make sure the surfaces are PERFECT or it won't last.

I got mine from Autozone.

Checker works too.

Don't run too much boost though. Make sure your tune is good as well.
