Intake gasket choice??

[relmer4]

I did a boost leak test last weekend and found my intake gasket is blown. My question is...should I use Fel Pro, OEM, or ??. I have 20-23psi goals down the road, but I want to select a gasket that will survive. I would appreciate any insight you could throw my way.

The OEM one is a rubberized metal gasket which will hold boost better then the felpro paper gasket. I would get the OEM gasket.

OEM all the way. I would never use any Felblow gaskets.

Here is the one that I am using. I just decided that I would throw it on when I rebuilt my engine for some heat reduction. I dont know how well it seals though.

I had the same one on my Talon . No leaks . Well from that area anyway .

Heat barrier gaskets are a great idea if you need to replace the gasket. I recommend them.
