Default widefire & o ringed (BLOWN GASKET)

Just found out my headgasket decided to expire. Just my luck! Engine is modified and the turbo is building 18-21 psi. I just purchased this 6 months ago and just put
over 1000km on the car. The engine has low mileage since the mods where done and now I'm going to be out $1800.00 for repairs. Does that sound right? It's at a very reputable performance shop and are known for there quality and honesty. The cylinder head is going to me checked & machined. New balance shaft & timing
belts included. Please help with any comments or suggestions. Thanks in advance

Cheers

Do you use the "Arc 2"?

Not sure. Does it make any difference on internal temperatures?

yes... the wrong tune can effect internal temp as aresult of a/f ratio that is adjusted with the arc-2

arc-2 is a "tuning device" with 5 ***** to "tune" your MAF. usually installed in the glovebox.

I have the same setup and its a POS, im looking to replace it with russell berrys 951max
