Yeah, the 1.9 gasket in there seems to be a better solution to the fibrous
one... Perhaps if you had the money/inclination, you could buy a 1.6 gasket,
and send it to one of those companies that fabs a copper one from your
original? That might be the best solution, as the 1.9 gasket would have a gap
around the perimeter of each piston... The smaller that gap, the better,
methinks...
BTW, how long have you had that motor in there? How many miles? Can you
change to a better wastegate design than original without changing the
downpipe?
