TU5J4 head gasket on TU5JP4 (TURBO BUILD) - Saxperience

Hi, I'm building a turbo Peugeot 206 1.6 16v with the TU5JP4 engine, since I want to lower the compression I'm looking for a thicker head gasket, I've found that TU5J4's head gaskets are thicker and I wonder if it fits the TU5JP4 engine since the block and head are different. It would solve my search for a hg but I can't find evidence anywhere if they are compatible with each other.

Hi, I've used a JP4 (0.6mm iirc) head gasket on a J4 block and all fits fine, thickness will be different as my is NA but other than that it fits no problem.

Thank for the short time answer, this turbo build has been giving me headaches for almost a year, I didn't realize it would turn out to be as expensive as it's being

I got one of the wrc spec ones from pug1off or spoox. It was thicker than my eldest daughter.
