Best to just use OEM ones.

No use felpro performance gaskets. The OEM ones won't hold higher boost.

I have a local turbo car holding 20lbs of boost for the last 2.5 years on OEM gaskets.

Getting over 20lbs I would use the Titan copper wire ring gaskets.

ARP headsteads are ideal if you have the motor out of the car.
