Has anyone used the Circuit Sports brand? I can't find a lot of people using a thermal gasket, let alone a circuit sports one.

It's about $40 shipped to me.

I got the thermalnator one from Shawn at RTTuning. He advertises on Zilvia.

Did you notice any difference in performance as they advertise? Or is it just peace of mind that you're gaining 2 - unnoticeable HP ?

I bought an Ebay version long before the big names were making them. Perfect fit, no leaks, though I didn't notice any gains. My reason for buying it is that it's reusable.

I would, and I'd planned to, but that one costs double the CS one. And as of now, its either the CS or the Felpro one I already bought.

That's my whole thing too...right now Im just NA with I/H, but I plan on boosting next year sometime. Im thinking to just get my car back together and change it out next year or something.

I would personally just use the Felpro that you already bought.

Thermal isolation can't hurt. Someone pretty reputable has mentioned that this along with other measures helps prevent SRs from breaking TBs with a Greddy IM because of the vibration damping. But it's definitely one of those "diminishing returns" pieces.
