id run a beta2 OEM hyundai one. it would VERY SLIGHTLY bump up the compression, but its a 2 layer instead of 3 layer. so less that could possibly fail.

i know on my mazda's, we only run mazda OEM. nothing really has been comparable under heavy boost.

Either one will be fine, Felpro or OEM.

There hasn't been any reports of gasket failures with boost. Just high mileage old timers. owned.gif

ARP head studs will help.
