New gaskets is always very good, but this would be a waste! Rather get local, use the cash on other parts

cometic gaskets are very good, the quality is great.

Maybe just get the head gasket and spend the other $$$ on parts, even a head stud kit and a nice exhaust mani,fmic, management and T3/4 turbo..hehehe

Get some pricing from Obsession (OPR) :D
