Post status of my overheating turbo MY98

Head gasket problem. I have a Phase 2 block with the DOHC heads, 24K miles turbo'd (30K total), including autox's and track time. Seems that the stock head gasket isn't up to the higher pressures and temperatures.

I'm hopeful that I haven't caused any worse problems. The engine oil looks good, at least on the dipstick.

Symptoms? Drive around fine as long as I'm not 'boosting'. As soon as I boost, coolant is pushed into the overflow tank and out, temperature gauge reads hot. I think air is literally being pushed into the cooling system, displacing the coolant.

Any ideas on aftermarket head gaskets? I don't think it's reasonable to replace with a stock one. Should I just go copper?

SteveS

PS. Trey, if you read this, any progress on the turbo DOHC heads? I may be interested real soon!
