My turbo install... continuation lol

[Beaubear12]

So previously, I stated that during dyno last year there was 70% leak down in cylinder one. Bikes apart and I ordered pretty much everything I needed before slapping on a turbo. New head, wossner turbo pistons, carillo rods, carpenter springs, vance and hines valves, ape stuff...etc. my bike a mix breed. But the question is I need to get a new base and head gasket. I don't know what thickness (pause) or material {copper, aluminum or steel} to use. Shops have been telling me and all depends what kind of build I want. how much clearance i need from piston to valve, but I'm just trying to have a running bike. I got wossner piston to keep at low compression. Do I go with stock size gaskets without compromising?

My Wossner Pistons with the correct spacer, I ended up with no base gaskets
and before I went 1/2 studs OEM head gasket or Cometic MLS

Gen 1 or gen 2? I believe gen 2 you don’t need a base spacer for turbo pistons. Gen 1 you need a base spacer for them and just run a cosmetic head gasket

the deck height I was looking for I ended up no base gaskets

I would say as always
mock assemble and measure

Ok cool, thanks for input everyone. I'll keep you updated. Hopefully this is the last thing I have to do and buy for a while.

Update...Ahh bike is finally.... rideable. build started in March of 2020 lol. Was going to say finally done but we all know with turbos there is never an end. Tuned by Jay/Dennis (great people btw) at Stedman motorsports. Ran into many issues and obstacles but ready for the streets/strip

My good friend and former colleague would absolutely love that car...

He has a '20 GT (performance package 1 and completely full MRSP sheet) in the same color as well as a '14 winter car in the same color...
