Hks Vpc???

[not2slow]

the mechanic at the local dealership is telling me i need an HKS VPC because i keep blowing metal head gaskets. I see that this product is discontinued. I have an AEM EMS, which I was thinking might be able to do what the VPC does. Any ideas??
Also, I have a cracked exhaust manifold, and he said that i should get a stock 2g. Does that sound right?
Any help appreciated

it has been a while since i looked at a vpc, but it will not keep you from blowing head gaskets. if you are using metal hg you should have the block/head mating surfaces machined. the ems will take care of any tuning issues that might cause a blown hg provided you know how to use it. a 95 is a 2g, so you already have a 2g mani. probably cracked due to age and use.

Sorry, i guess i should have been more specific, it is a built 6 bolt 1g engine. The surfaces were machined, so i guess hopefully the ems tuning will work. I just didn't know exactly what a vpc did. Is the 2g mani. that much stronger than the 1g? The car dynoed at 310 horse and 340 torque, will the 2g mani be strong enough?

2g manifold should work just fine. Since you have the AEM EMS a VPC would just be a waste of money.
