Anyone know where i can get hold of a mls head gasket for a m50?
Also, im learning about turbocharging this engine, whats the best way to go for lowering the compression? thicker head gasket or decompression plate?
Lastly ive found mixed information on decompression plates online, would i need one or two head gaskets to go with it
cheers in advance for any help

For an M50 with an MLS headgasket and arp headbolts you should be safe to about 500hp.

If you ask them nicely, I'm sure they might sort the invoice so you dont have to pay import fees
What sort of power are you going to be looking for?

I've asked that supplier on eBay about total costs waiting for a reply back. But its handy to know that they will put a nice invoice figure for customs purposes. I'm looking to run 300whp for now, but want to build the engine so its safe to increase the power in the future if I get bored
