Head gaskets!!
If you were to install two head gaskets how much will your compression ratio drop down too.
Im considering do this mod for my Turbo set up!!
The Alpine spacer is way to thick and measures 2.5mm thick and then adding two additional Head spacers!!

DONT DO IT!!! 2 head gaskets, even if you have a stud kit and exceed the torque specs, will not seal as effectively as a single gasket that is manufactured with your needs in mind. Having 2 gaskets means you have another area of weakness between the block and heads, and that is the space between the 1st and 2nd gasket. With the amount of air that a turbocharger can move, you'd be best served either getting a head spacer or copper gasket custom made to your requirements. I'd go with the copper gasket and a stud kit, along with a deck milling and head skim to be sure everything goes together perfectly square.
