I can't find anything on the internet.. I'm running 10psi.. please let me know if anyone knows a good website because I'm stumped... thanks for the help

For low boost the OEM Honda one is fine.
Be sure to get the head machined at the same time

Oem will hold 10psi daily?

TASauto.com is another good source...

And you can always call Bisimoto. Just becayse the site is down doesn't mean they don't exist! They're just redoing the site this weekend.

You used it on your car and holds up fine?

if i were you i would buy a honda gasket and new head bolts and also have the head resurfaced , and that should last along time . [Make shure to torque the head in three steps........

no issues with it, but i'm naturally aspirated. my block and head were tested straight and i installed brand new head studs from honda as well as the valve cover gasket set and intake and exhaust manifolds as they were replaced when replacing the head gasket.

i do not know how much forced induction these gaskets can withstand. my last turbo project i went to cometic.com and ordered from them. that was for a toyota 4age back about eight years ago.

word.

however, turbo changes the conditions under which these parts must perform.

oh... P.S. if you're going to be getting into the engine anyway, get ARP head studs. forced induction increases the compression in the combustion chamber and you want those things to keep that cylinder head down!

i agree with the arp head studs, but will have to disagree with the turbo increasing compression.
it does however increase combustion,more air+more fuel=more combustion, resulting in the need for stronger head fasteners(being studs or bolts, preferably studs)
