Your spec sounds pretty standard, why do you need an MLS?

dealer gasket or goetze will work, though can be difficult to find 1.75mm gasket most seem to stock 2.05mm (+0.3mm)

A stock gasket with studs should hold a fair bit of boost on a good well faced block with correct torque.

In a pinch a stock one would be fine provided you didn't boost the crap out of it.
