the ehad gasket will be the least of your worries. Feel free to jack the boost up, but just be careful about it. Dont be one of those idiots that manages to blows engines/melt pistons due to idiocy. Keep a careful eye on your air/fuel, and listen to what your engine tells you. The likelyhood of blowing a h/g is minimal.
