Get a stock head gasket kit from toyota, it should have all the parts you need in it, grommets and all. I'd suggest still taking the head to a machine shop however.
what id love to do with the car is leave the turbo as it is, then slowly phase in some other parts....which i havent decided yet :-P or maybe i wont, ill just have fun with it and see how long i can keep her alive. either way, she isnt going above 300 HP unless i hit the lotto.

i just wanna fix this problem so i wont have to worry when im driving the supra...much like im worrying now haha. and if i get that stock head gasket kit from Toyota, that wont include ARP studs\bolts, correct?

whats the difference between studs and bolts, anyways?

thanks for all the info
