1) The oem (Toyota) 2jz-gte head gasket will handle the boost just fine. If someone told you differently, please send him/her to me.
2) Pay to play. Sorry, but you can't get away from that. If you want to maximize your investment, don't buy stuff you don't need like an HKS head gasket or an ebay intake plenum.
3) The oem intake plenum is just fine for a 67mm turbo. You only need to change it out for 750rwhp (6spd) applications. If you want to modify it, just block off the EGR valve (us-spec mkiv tt's only).

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
