If you Head Gasket is going to blow again....I suggest you put on a HKS 1.5 to 2.0mm Metal Head Gasket on. It holds more pressure and from what I have heard, last longer. And I have a friend who told me that after you install a thicker head gasket, you would be able to put in a bigger turbo and intercool for more boost and power with out changing the block. He also told me that Mark III's stock engine block can handle up to 500-600hp. Not sure if that is true though...but there is a 400hp Mark III out there.

Having a Japanese sport car is not about big blocks, big power, big torgue kind of thing (Not muscle car type).
It is about driving it to the full protential and to tune the car to fit your driving style and the need for speed.

If you are going to keep it, I suggest tuning it and have some fun with it!
