O ok SIR! First off USING a thiicker head gasket WOULD make the comp be lower... second off I said by USING a thicker head gasket it would make the heads pull apart away from the intake manifold and also make the timing cover not bolt up correctly! I did do reasearch and I did not find my anwser. And you say throw parts at it? Like what? Its still stock! And second before you go saying "rear mounted turbo's" are junk maybe you go reasearch yourself! I have a couple of good buddy's who have a rear mounted turbo! 07 GTO with 570whp and a 1990 S10 (350 swap) making over 600whp on a Holset HX55 building boost pretty fast? Intake temps are lower , more room , Very easy to work on..... This cobra is my 52nd car. I have put together/built A LOT of cars! Im not a mustang guy so I was asking a few question's! Go on youtube and watch cars with a rear mounted turbo.... O they must be junk. FORGOT sorry
