you CAN run the gasket and the turbo kit together. they wont affect each other in any way.

I was going to get one of these gaskets but it seems like a major PITA to install.

I have one and there isn't any leak at 1.5 bar of boost with a Greddy T67 turbo. The hondata gasket interferes with the factory coolant flow. However the greddy turbo only uses oil for cooling. With other turbo u have to be careful where you get the coolant for the turbo from.

I've used one for a while and it's not only not a worthwhile mod but it also has other issues as well.

Why would the motor run lean if it is loosing air? Surely that would result in a rich mix.

I use one in my turbo gsr without issues . The only thing i have found is that the intake manifold nuts seem to loosen up over time . However ive had no leaks or such with it . I dont think its worth the hassle on an s2k though .
