    You can pick apart my answer if you want BUT what im giving is sound advice..And the lots of people the have problems with Ebay kits are the people that do not know how to install them properly.I myself have installed more Ebay kits and name brand kits than you've ever seen...Knowledge is very important when picking what type of kit to buy,you cant always base your decisions on what people with no knowledge tells you is right.As for the headgasket it is hard to say if it would be needed but most people change it to lower the compression ratio and add APR head studs to be safe..PLUS Josh5145,your 95 civic had a Ebay turbo kit on it and you kept the cheap wastegate and you said on your for sale post that you never had a problem with it......Turbo set up
    cast mani
    no name 57 trim turbo
    jdm sport intercooler
    Greddy type s Bov
    3" downpipe
    xs power wastegate

    HAHA nice call homie. The original set-up had a Smaller Garrett but it finally gave up and I got the cheapo for a quick fix.Plus my kit was basically given to me soooo.. Anyway I'd still recommend a quality kit for a good reliable set-up.More of a do as I say not as I do kind of thing. Not exactly picking your post apart but when you had piggy back and the part about a thicker headgasket I thought you were posting from the 90's. lol
