3mm or 3.5mm?
Can get them custom made at Swanson gasket, NSW.

One piece gasket is more safe.
None MIVEC 6a12 is more ideal for turbo due to it's lower compression.
If you're not thinking about changing piston/con rods, then supposedly you can go for thicker gaskets.,By saying that you run the risk the gasket itself becomes part of the firing surface in the combustion chamber, not good.
I've seen engine with standard 10.8:1 compression down to 8.5:1 using 3mm.
