Wheres the best place to get these, or are they readily accessible from car factors. If i end up turboing it, what thickness headgasket do i need and where would i get these. Also are head bolts reusable and if not where do i get these, thanks

i've been told that the best place for the head gasket is OEM, i.e the dealers, i believe you can re-use the head bolts also

Re-using head bolts on an M30 is not advised, you're meant to use NEW ones.

As for H/G, pm "Meatballs" aka Matt @ Eurocarparts, he does Elring H/G's.

You can use the standard H/G upto ceretain HP.
But I think most get the MLS H/G
