The World’s Best Selling Combo for Boosted
BMWs!
Many times a week there are calls we receive from
shops and customers all over the world that go like this:
"The car was running great with it's
supercharger kit/turbo. Then without notice the car blew its head
gasket! What do I need to fix this once and for all?"
The one-two combination of our VAC Head Gasket and ARP Hardware
is unbeatable! Tested at over 650WHP on the M50/S50 family of
engines, there is nothing better than this for quickly and
permanently fixing your head gasket issues without using a cutting
head gasket or "O-ringing" the block. Compatible with both
standard, and sleeved engines, our gaskets are made to our own
specs based on thousands sold and the results have been
spectacular.
Of course; this kit is also works perfectly for the naturally
aspirated tuners among us that want ultimate reliability from the
head gasket: just select the .070 or .080 thickness that fits your
needs, or call/email us with your questions.
Select what engine you have and what thickness head gasket you
would like from the drop down menu and you will get your Forced
Induction solution in one box.
- .070 Is stock thickness. Works well for N/A and
Supercharger kits if your head has only been very lightly
resurfaced, your gasoline / petrol quality is good, and your
cooling system is in order.
- .080 thickness is a good choice if head has been
resurfaced more than .005. Great along with a supercharger or low
boost bolt on turbo kit. This is a good match for hot climates or
where poor quality gas is common as it very slightly drops
compression.
- .120 Popular for M50 / M52 setups. Allows for full
potential of the factory internals and good spool up.
- .140 Popular for S50/ S52 turbo setups. 8.5:1
compression is the result on the S5x engine and allows for high
boost setups with large turbo up to the maximum of what the OE
internals allow.
Please note: These kits allow the engine to make more
power than the factory internals can handle. Consult a professional
such as one of our techs if you have questions about engine
internals.

VAC Tech's Pro Tips and Tricks:
- Don't sand or scuff the block before installing an MLS gasket!!
We love and highly recommend this tool Goodson SuperScraper available from
Amazon.
- Follow install directions *exactly*, this means your cylinder
head should be resurfaced.
- Building for more power beyond 650WHP? We have special packages
that allow you to use an MLS vs. having to O-ring the block, please
inquire.
