Does anyone know what the advantage/disadvantage is to having a thicker head gasket  for a Turbocharged engine? I have a 90 Sunbird GT 2.0L Turbo.  Daftart sell cometic gaskets that are different thickness' and i'll trying to figure out which one i should buy.  Thanks, Devin
 
THICKER HEAD GASKET LOWERS COMPRESSION.

my ricer buddie running around in a turbo civic said the thicker the head gasket more psi u can handle and LESS heat transfer to the head which means cooler head every gasket on his motor looks to be 1/8" to a 1/4" i no i no wtf no way (this is just what i was told ) take it or leave it ....hope this helps yah out !!!!!
