iPd and FCP have Elring, Mahle, Victor-Reinz, and something name Corteco.

The head gasket kit is Volvo PN 270689. NLA from Volvo. Maybe you can get individual parts.

I've forgotten what brand is better.

If you did not apply cylinder head bolt torque using the proper sequence in stages in stages, as you ask about it here, applying torque incorrectly will lead to head gasket failure.

There is a limit to how much material can be removed from the cylinder head. Max is 4mm?

Also, how did you prep the block deck? Did you measure that for uneven surface?

You also have gasket options for performance build above factory spec. I'm unsure you they are. May want to ask at Turbobricks.
