Had one blow on my old rev 2, mate blew his rev 1 was a few years ago mind you. Sure I've seen many more on here in past.
A lot of it might be people saying it just because they heard someone mention it on here.
I'm not saying it will blow, but surely it's nowhere near as strong and forgiving as a mls one?

Rev3 HG is MLS.

And both surfaces need to be properly prepared with new bolts or ARP studs.

Im not sure i phrased that properly, i was originally referring to the stock rev 1&2 gasket where ive seen 2 blow (the original), then saying it might be a good upgrade to put a rev 3 mls gasket on.

His secret was water meth.. Gained power and kept knock / detonation down. Interesting build read up on his thread.

If I get another turbo charged car (apart from my smart lol) water meth will be a must !!
