So I'm in email contact with mountune who built my engine. There are concerns that the oem head gasket cannot take the amount of boost I intend to run. I'm planning on between 34-36 psi. Does anyone know of a gasket that claims to be able to seal at this level? Most of the ones I'm seeing are copper head gaskets but can't find one for our car. I'm told an mls head gasket loses its ability to seal at about 30 psi.

Probably worth emailing TunePlus. They are developing a Fiesta ST longblock right now and he may have some insight. I feel like Mountune, Pumaspeed, etc. haven't done a great job developing the 1.6L Built Engines. Hoping TunePlus comes out with something useable. Don't think he uses the forums anymore though. @Tune+
