as long as they are MLS get w/e imo.. I've been running MLS headgaskets from an ebay gasket set.. 40k miles and still going strong. When I was looking for headgaskets I was told there were multiple members on the other site running 20+ psi with no problems on the ebay gaskets.

Cometic makes good gaskets. But if you could afford OEM than i would buy oem.

Go with a MLS head gasket. Cometics fall apart much easier especially if coolant gets on them plus they won't hold as much boost. There's a reason Mitsubishi used MLS head gaskets on these cars. I've heard of good success with the eBay MLS head gaskets and side by side other than the stamping #s I can't tell the difference between OEM and non-OEM. I prefer to pay for OEM but I also would rather have the peace of mind for an extra $50 even if the quality is the same between them.
