Inline pro gasket is good. 3mm is around .118" . If you have to remove a total of .010" you will be around .171". That will equal 2.7432mm , so you would be running about a 2.75mm gasket. Should be just fine.
Both deck surface and head are going to a machine shop tomorrow so we'll know soon enough.
I'd like to stay in the 10:1 area since i'm using race gas for high boost and only 1 bar of boost on normal gas.

You don't need to jack up the car to bleed the air out of the system.
Have you got a picture to illustrate?
It may be a good idea to replace both if you can swing it. That much heat will aid crack propigation. If not you may want to talk to them about magnifluxing the head and block deck. Have them also check your valves, seats, seals and stems. It may be to your advantage to O-ring the heads also since you are boosted. You will also need to replace all the hardware, any type of heat treatment they recived to harden them is now been negated.
Hope everything turns out well

Well we bled it at the radiator and on the front end of the block. Are there more places you can bleed it? With that we didn't get the air out of the system.

follow the repair manual for bleeding the system.
When I told them to jack up the car and bleed it again they were amazed another 0.5l coolant could get in the system.
That tube along the firewall, that's for the airco isn't it?
