Because of the difference in thickness, will the comp ratio rise much with the thinner metal gasket? Or does the standard EA gasket compress down to a simmilar thickness anyway?

I havnt had to change the headgasket yet since putting the turbo on, but expect to soon...a metal gasket is what I would opt to use but I dont want to raise the compression
