    WTB: Complete M20B25 Quality Gasket Kit

    Hi can someone point me in the right direction to find a complete quality gasket kit to overhaul an M20B25 that I am looking at turbo charging in the near future.

    I am including ARP headstuds and want advice on which headgasket can comfortably handle 400HP. I will be using a GTX3582R twin scroll with a GCG v band collector.

    Thanks in advance or wondering if I need to piece it together as I understand that the Victor Reinz is garbage. Also some say if done properly o-ringing is not necessary.

    Just really looking for feedback.

    I believe several people have used Goetze Head gaskets.
    This is the gasket I used on my M20.
    Granted I'm not turboed but I believe this brand to be one of the best.
    If it's good enough for BimmerHeads then that is all I need to know.

        Damn. Do they have an ETA of when some will come in?

              Pretty sure the dealer gaskets would be Elring, not that this is good or bad.

              OP, it does look like the Goetze head gasket is around (Pelican, FCP, definitely others), so you can do what many of us do, order the VR head gasket set, and a Goetze head gasket to make a complete "better" kit. Alternately, just add whatever other bits you feel like may be needed or might be of low quality in the VR kit.

                  I ordered a complete set from Ireland Engineering along with a Cometic 0.7mm Headgasket.

                  Now all I need at this point is to locate ARP headstuds.

                  Anyone knows where I can find a set as everywhere seems to b out of it.
